If it's not doing recovery then the Postgres time proper should be
no more than a second or so, in my experience. Look for
outside-the-database factors. One possibility is a broken DNS
configuration leading to long delays in trying to resolve socket
addresses and such. I've never seen such a problem causing a delay
over a minute though ....
