I added it before starting Emacs today. Tramp is apparently not involved, since no Tramp debug buffer or any other Tramp buffer came up and there's no mention of Tramp in *Messages*. But at startup there was again a pause when the echo area displayed the message "Cleaning up the recentf list...". This time it lasted about 30 seconds, then startup completed and Emacs appears to be running normally. However, the complete recentf message is "Cleaning up the recentf list...done (0 removed)", so I assume 30 seconds is too long and indicative of a problem. With this emacs process running I started another Emacs with my initializations, including the same recentf file, and it came up without a pause. Same thing with `emacs -Q --eval "(recentf-mode 1)"'.
