How many (queue) files are (recursively) in:
/var/spool/postfix/{deferred,incoming,active,hold}?
The "postfix start" command executs "postfix-script" which runs mostly
cheap commands, but also "postsuper -s" to repair the queue directories.
If you have millions of queue files on hold or similar, this could take
a while. If your queue directory is in NFS or other slow file system,
that could compound the issue.
