The mysqld startup script is different than most as in it starts the daemon 
process and then sits and spins for 10 seconds waiting or it to come up. 
Most likely you have either very little resources so your mysqld takes longer 
than that to come up, or you're allocating some large junks of memory so the 
initialization takes longer... For more detail check /etc/init.d/mysqld 
starting with line 38...
