I am not sure if I understand this.

Do you want to force it to delay? If so try your sleep in an 
/etc/rc.conf.d/ file (named after rcvar). Put it where you want it based 
on the output of "rcorder /etc/rc.d/*".

Or are you complaining that it is too slow? If it is too slow, then 
probably it is a networking or DNS issue that needs to be resolved.
