I noticed the same delay and it could be due to the log being in /tmp.
 I got an SELinux denial of /sbin/shutdown trying to write to the
/tmp/vps_bootstrap* file.  Just a guess.  I also noticed that the
vdsm.conf file had context of the tmp directory and not etc_t.  After
doing numerous restorecon on files I cleared my SELinux audit log, If
I see it again I'll report as it may cause some problems.
