This is bizarre and I don't have an answer (/maybe/ the binary you 
installed has debugging symbols loaded?).

Honestly, I think Bad Things are happening to you.  I just installed 
ubuntu 8.04 as the guest OS under Virtual Box (host OS Windows XP), and 
emacs 22.1.1 from the Synaptic package manager last week, and it takes 
less than three seconds from the time I click the launcher to when I 
have a fully-responsive emacs window on my screen.  Hell, it only takes 
about 30 to 45 seconds to fire up Virtual Box, load the vm, load ubuntu 
and log in.  And this machine is two and a half years old.

I smell something seriously wrong with something.  I wish I could be 
more helpful, but the only thing I can say is widen your focus because 
this doesn't sound like an emacs problem to me.
