Can you help narrow down what is happening during the additional 12

Not tried (would probably be too short to measure effectively) but I'd
guess it would be the same as for multiuser, see also the FC6 sub-thread
I'm guessing (hoping) that it's the network bring-up that is
slow.
Are you using dhcp to get an IP address? Does static IP have the same
slow down?
It's all static IP.
And please see my previous post, 1 hour before yours, regarding Fedora
Core 6: the bring-up of eth0 in Fedora Core 6 is not particularly faster
or slower than the rest. This is an overall system slowdown (I'd say
either CPU or disk I/O) not related to the network (apart from being
triggered by vhost_net).
