I had a similar problem until recently with F12 (and previously F11).
But in my case it took EVERY TIME additional 40 seconds before I could
login. This system boots in runlevel 3 and I do startx when I need
GUI. So, actually this delay occurred just after all daemons have been
started and during login process. Playing around with services I've
found it was preload installed a while ago who caused a lot of disk IO
usage. Disabling it resulted in a faster boot process (with no delay
at the end of it) and less memory usage on a booted system. But now X
takes about two times slower than before...
