Slow boot

I've noticed my computer boots quite slowly, so I've run bootchart.

Is there anything I can do to speed up DHCP initialization? Also X starts slow, I can see my wallpaper + panel and there's like 5-10 seconds of idle time till my session applications start to load.

Interesting stuff from rc.conf:

MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MODULES=( acpi_cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave usblp )

eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network portmap nfslock nfsd netfs @crond @alsa @gpm @cups @sensors @hddtemp @cpufreq @g15daemon @mpd hal gdm)

Re: Slow boot

Set the network daemon to start in background, or change to static IP configuration.
