It may be a problem of DNS configuration. Compiled with some options
(by default I think), emacs will make some DNS requests at launch
time. If the DNS is not very well configured, it will have to wait
for time-outs.
And same for the fonts, if you use a X font server (or rather if a X
font server is configured, and cannot be reached because of the DNS
misconfiguration).
- check /etc/resolv.conf
- check you can reach the DNS servers,
- find if there's a X font server configured,
- check you can find the IP of the X font server (nslookup).
