By default all ports participate in spanning-tree, which is probably
any delay you're seeing. You can setup host ports by explicitly
setting them up as access ports and then turning on "spanning-tree
portfast". That makes the ports come up almost immediately.
I've never had a problem with Intel (em/fxp) or Broadcom (bge/bce)
using auto-neg on any Cisco switch made in the last 8-10 years.
