Q: my retina macbook is slow to startup when my external drive is attached

Ive had my macbook retina for a couple of days now and generally the boot time is amazingly fast. But it seems that now Ive connected my usb devices to it (including my external drive) there is a long pause on the white screen at the beginning of startup .  If I unplug everything it goes back to being really fast again!

 

is this normal?

 

thanks for any help!
