One possibility is that your configuration requires a large number of DNS resolutions; others have suggested other possibilities. Apart from educated guessing, I unfortunately don't know of a better way to debug this than to comment out parts of the configuration to see what is causing the delay. I suspect if you start with a minimal configuration you will find that the process user and group are changed very quickly. > Did anybody observe something simular and has an idea what might cause this > long delay in changing the ownership?
