The statd daemon helps weith NFS services. if you're not running NFS as a server or a client, then you don't need it. On my sarge system, statd is started by the nfs-common init script. Disabling this script from running should stop it, unless you have something that is starting it from a nonstandard place. As for why it takes so long to start -- I don't know -- possibly a name resolution error? Have you checked your system logs?
