Yep, I can verify that to be true on my box as well. Actually, even with
SELINUX=permissive, the "Starting udev" takes about 1 minute. Other
things are noticeably slower with SELinux turned on as well (e.g. X
startup).

Check. It takes only a few seconds now to do "Starting udev" and
"Initializing hardware" with SELinux disabled. I'm running udev-0.75-5.
