Ummm, I have a suggestion. I had the same problem. No it's nothing to do
with long process start time. Make sure your identd is running:
chkconfig --list identd # To see if it starts at boot.
chkconfig identd on # to make sure it does
service identd start # to actually start it now
Let me know if that doesn't fix it.
Better yet, add this to your iptables file in the *filter (filter table)
section:
# make quicker connections to servers that try ident lookup
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 113 -i eth+ -j REJECT
