Slow server statup

I am running Sunn App Server 8.1 Enterprise. I have a few different domains setup. I have a stange problem when starting a couple of them. It takes about 5 minutes to start the Http Service (Note the times from the log below). The domains start up fine they just take longer to start. Others start up very quickly. Any ideas on why this would occur?

There could be a lot of reasons attributing to slow server startup. A number of applications running on this instance, type of these web applications, JVM options(i.e big values of Xmx, Xms), native libraries and jars(i.e jdbc drivers) that have to be loaded by the instance.

One other thing I can think of is the instances of a domain that takes longer to start get reconfigured a lot. If this happens all config changes has to be synchronized with domain's DAS server and this operation usually takes long time to finish.
