take a look to see if any MTA (e.g sendmail/exim/qmail/courier) is starting 
up, as this often does reverse DNS lookups.  Also check for apache, which may 
do dns lookups depdnding on how it is set up, and ntpdate (for obvious 
reasons).

hdparm may well make any IDE machine work a lot faster, also ..
