This is normal; the default setup loads all available patterns (so
that no reconfiguration or format rebuilding is necessary if you
request one of these in a document some day). If you don't use them,
they shouldn't affect you.

The presence of the hyphenation patterns in the format shouldn't
cause this (unless the package is buggy, I suppose).
I don't see this when I try a simple example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{datetime}
\begin{document}
Hello world at \currenttime.
\end{document}
This works fine with a current TeXLive snapshot, which should be very
similar to Dick's recent packages. If you're still having trouble,
perhaps you could show a complete (but minimal) example, and the
resulting log file.
