There always was a "traditional 17 second pause" whilst Netscape
Navigator loaded when it ran an X request to do a (pointless and
spurious) list of every font available on the X server.
Perhaps there's something in the Emacs startup that is doing something
similar to this, requesting all fonts or some such thing, that would
lead to a big pause at start time.
I'm not sure that's the answer, but it is the sort of thing that would
be:
a) Not totally obvious, and
b) In keeping with the symptoms...
