1.18.4 (and before): slow dhcp client..

I've been wondering why dhcp client is so slow...

When I boot my kernel with ip=dhcp, I get an IP within a second or so...
When I get an ip with udhcpc it takes about 10 seconds, and several "Tries"..

My current server is dnsmasq, but it works fine (and quick) with all
the other clients I use.

Anyone has an idea ? is this a "known bug" ?
