Are you, perhaps, setting (changing) the font in your .emacs file? If
so, then this is probably your problem. For reasons unknown to me,
'emacs' takes a long file to change fonts in an X environment.
Rather than using (set-default-font ...) in .emacs, stick the font
definition in your .Xresources file (key 'Emacs*font') and then use
'xrdb -load' to activate it. You will find that startup time is greatly
improved!
