My opinion, and it's just a guess, is the network connection.
Quite often, programs do alot of stuff before they bring up the actual
GUI.  It's possible it's doing some cvs checking before it comes up, and
if the network is slow it might be taking a while before it even comes up.

As I said, I might be wrong.  I would contact the tkcvs people and ask
them what the best way to debug the slowness would be.
