It should be fast - a few seconds.  If it takes longer, please file a
bug with 'ubuntu-bug lxc'.  Stephane suggested that when he has seen
slow boots it's been due to dhcp, in particular (one time) due to
virbr0 having stp on.

We'll likely have to either find the problem in your network setup,
or else switching to static network setup should work around it regardless.
