Hi Drew, Is there any possibility Emacs is trying DNS requests, i.e. to resolve parts of user-mail-address or something related? Startup delays are often caused by waiting for DNS and then timing out after a while. IIRC you are running the Windows build of Emacs. Can you try wireshark or another network monitoring tool, and watch for network activity while Emacs is starting?
