Try installing bootchart[1] it's perfect for this kind of problem and packaged up in Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora. If it was just the once maybe it was due to a file system check at boot?
A file system check takes almost an hour on my system, that's not what it was! :-)
I'll try bootchart, sounds useful.
