NFS server startup

I am noticing that it takes unusually long (5-6 minutes) for the NFS services to startup (on bootup). This becomes an issue, whenever there is a power outage, and all the clients boot up (within a minute, say) while the server is still starting up the NFS services, thus not mounting the home directories.
