I've made a patch that caches the result of ck-history so there is no delay on 
startup (patch also upstream):
lp:~ubuntu-desktop/gdm/ubuntu

The cached version is used on startup and then updated once ck-history
completes.  The information is only used for ordering the user list so
out-of-date information should not cause any serious problems.  The
first startup will be delayed until the cache has been written to.

** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu Karmic)

ck-history can take a *long* time to run, during which gdm is unusable
