how would the other deamon stop the postfix from continuing? I see the postfix start line, then nothing moves for few minutes, disk is busy, then I get next daemon's start line. I mean no matter how busy the system would be doing whatever else it might be doing the postfix would STOP for few minutes (when I restart it once the system is booted up it takes less then a second to start). > the next daemon in the boot order is causing the delay.

Nothing takes longer that about a second to start, except of postgresql that takes maybe 2 - 5 seconds. the next step was running top -b (I added it on the beginning of the postfix), I see the echo I added so I assume the top starts running at the beginning of the delay. however top doesn't show anything interesting, no high load, no program (even low load) stays near top too long... the only suspicious process running is find - the only script that runs find is fetchmail and it starts quite fast... not sure what to do... I'll probably start removing the startup scripts one by one and see what happens... any better ideas? btw here's the top output (filtered out a bit) 21:41:23 up 0 min, 0 users, load average: 1.33,
