I'm running GNU Emacs 24.3.1, with the -nw flag. If have TERM=xterm or TERM=xterm-256color, it takes 2 or 3 seconds to start up. Setting TERM=ansi (or vt100, or vt102), I get instant startups. I'm running on goobuntu (Google's own flavor of ubuntu linux)
Tracing the emacs process as it starts up, I see that all the time is spent in a set of select() calls (fd 3 is "/dev/tty" at this point):
15215 pselect6(4, [3], [], NULL, {1, 996360390}, {NULL, 8}) = 1 (in [3], left {1, 980201052}) <0.016169>
15215 pselect6(4, [3], [], NULL, {1, 999612379}, {NULL, 8}) = 0 (Timeout) <2.001673>
15215 pselect6(4, [3], [], NULL, {0, 499948991}, {NULL, 8}) = 0 (Timeout) <0.500516>
15215 pselect6(4, [3], [], NULL, {27, 497597665}, {NULL, 8}) = 1 (in [3], left {27, 83731691}) <0.413916>
15215 pselect6(4, [3], [], NULL, {0, 499864020}, {NULL, 8}) = 1 (in [3], left {0, 287729575}) <0.212174>
Based on the write() calls I see to fd 3 immediately before this, it looks like it's in the process of initializing the screen. Does this sound like I'm running into http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2013-06/msg00362.html?

Please try a recent pretest of Emacs 24.4 (available from
alpha.gnu.org and probably also from goobuntu), I believe this was
already solved there.
See http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17648.

I downloaded emacs-24.3.94 (I assume that’s what you intended?) and built it with:
./configure --prefix=`/bin/pwd` --with-x-toolkit=no --with-xpm=no --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=n
o --with-tiff=no
./configure --prefix=`/bin/pwd` --with-x-toolkit=no --with-xpm=no --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=n
o --with-tiff=no
It has exactly the same behavior. Starting it with TERM=xterm-256color, it takes a couple of seconds to get to the welcome screen. Same pselect6() calls in the trace output:
pselect6(4, [3], [], NULL, {1, 995148137}, {NULL, 8}) = 1 (in [3], left {1, 952766953}) <0.042444>
pselect6(4, [3], [], NULL, {1, 999909468}, {NULL, 8}) = 0 (Timeout) <2.000402>
pselect6(4, [3], [], NULL, {0, 499943592}, {NULL, 8}) = 0 (Timeout) <0.500541>
pselect6(4, [3], [], NULL, {29, 498901886}, {NULL, 8}) = 1 (in [3], left {29, 361558588}) <0.137381>
pselect6(4, [3], [], NULL, {0, 499841425}, {NULL, 8}) = 1 (in [3], left {0, 308628336}) <0.191243>
TERM=ansi starts instantly.

Could you show the result of typing `C-h l' right after this slow startup?

Also, could you describe precisely what terminal emulator you're
using (including version number)?

Closing since OP hasn't responded.
