Running calibre on a slower, less capable system (with limited/shared memory) along with a very large library of books -- say, 20,000 or more -- can result in slower loading. I've timed it on my old computer system (which might have hardware issues I'm not aware of, excluding defrag). Four minutes is not impossible based on what I was seeing. The use of custom columns, columns derived from other columns, keeping the tag browser or the book details open, the old Formats custom column... all of these things exacerbate the load delay.
There may be other calibre options, or plugins, that would also adversely affect start-up time that are not listed above.
