While Win2K Server and OS X both take around a second *at most* to power up the keyboard and mouse when they've been switched over to the respective machine... Linux takes something like 5-6 seconds. Which can be quite annoying.
You may find your level of daily bliss rises if you find the "sleep 3" in some /etc/hotplug/usb.* file and comment it out ... it slows down at least the hotplug steps. (*)
That's a partial workaround for a UHCI problem on 2.4 kernels (it doesn't queue control requests). The problem goes away on 2.6 kernels, and the latest hotplug scripts shouldn't even try it on the 2.6 kernels.

(*) And I must be getting impatient lately, "sleep 3" feels
like a lot more than 3 seconds. The "devlabel" stuff
seems to create extra (and often pointless) load, that
might explain part of it. I remember when we shipped 2.4, there was no question that
we hotplugged a _lot_ faster than Windows did!
