Well, that's not quite what happens.
systemd has a timeout of 90secs where it waits for devices listed in
fstab to show up. after that it drops into the rescue shell.


So it's not that the rescue shell takes a long time to start, it's
simply a timeout where systemd waits.
If you boot without the "quiet" kernel command line argument, systemd
will show you (via a small animation), that it is currently waiting for
a given device/unit.
