Hmm - sounds like it's looking for something it can't find then finally giving up and starting. Of course figuring out what the "something" is may be a challenge. In addtion to JSW's advice, you might consider:

Did you have your library stored on a drive that's no longer acccessible? Do you see any other slow-to-respond devices in the device list in Connect (e.g. a networked device, drive on another machine that's not currently connected to the network, etc.)

I don't know if Connect tries to access the Internet when started (e.g. to check for updates) but have you changed your internet connection recently?

It might be useful to review any changes you made to your system right before the problem started, regardless of how unconnected it may seem to Connect.

If all else fails, try reinstalling Connect (get the newest version from the Sony website).

Good luck!
