When I run

     emacs -Q --daemon
     emacsclient -t foo.txt

to open some file foo.txt, the scratch buffer displays for 2-3 seconds
before the buffer for the file actually opens. My TERM environment
variable is set to "xterm-256color", and if I change it to
"screen-256color" this problem goes away. Also if I create a file
containing only "(setq-default xterm-query-timeout nil)" and load that
with the -l flag, the problem goes away. Presumably there is a purpose
to this timeout, so just doing this is probably not ideal. It was
added in commit cc8f96e in response to bug#12345.
