I'm getting hammered on startup times because it takes so long to run the hotplug scripts. I actually had applications run by init scripts fail because their USB devices weren't configured yet. I got around that by modprobe-ing drivers, but I'm still seeing delays in "ready-to-run" of a minute or more because the system is busy running CPU-intensive scripts for devices that are already configured. Maybe I haven't been using the right search keywords, but I haven't turned up any effort to speed up the usb map searches, or a way for a script to determine that it isn't needed because the device is already claimed by a driver. Have I missed something? Or has nothing been done about this?
