One of the large delays you see in OSPF is election of the designated router on multi-access links such as ethernets. As ethernet is being very commonly used for point-to-point non-edge links, you can eliminate that delay and also the corresponding network LSA by making OSPF treat the link as a point-to-point link e.g.
int ethernet0 ip ospf network point-to-point
If your implementation doesn't support point-to-point mode for an interface, point-to-multipoint mode on an ethernet would achieve something somewhat equivalent.
Do any implementations go point-to-point automatically if an ethernet has a /30 or /31 mask?
