My first guess would be DNS or network related problems. In the past,
there have been reports of emacs becoming slow when the network wasn't
configured correctly. I would verify that when not connected to your
office network you can
1. Do DNS lookups OK and without delay.
2. That 'localhost' is correctly configured and resolves correctly.
3. Check for valid resolv.conf
4. check validity of /etc/hosts
