It's usually trying to contact your address books during that delay.
Problem is we do that (synchronously) in the same execution thread that
draws the UI, so the UI is blocked from displaying the window.  If you
have remote address books, especially ones that are large or slow to
respond, this can cause the significant delay you're seeing.

The good news is we have a patch to address this (thanks to Milan Crha),
and I think it may have been committed to the development branch
already.
