It's not related.  There are more drivers now :-).

Personally I don't notice any delays except for the SCSI drivers.  I
temporarily have 2 SCSI controllers installed, and need SCSI_DELAY=8 to
get the cdrom recognized, while in 1.1.5 I didn't need SCSI_DELAY
because the ultrastor driver was too broken to miss it.  The BIOS has
similar delays, so it takes almost 90 seconds to boot, while a clunky
IDE system takes only 15 seconds.
