Sendmail startup should only be slow if your dns is broken or you've
removed the localhost entry from your hosts file. Either of those
needs to be fixed anyway.
the slow part is the aliases generation.
anyone not using their machine as a mail server really doesn't need
sendmail ;(
("slow" is relative, for me, anything taking more than 0.5 seconds is
slow)
