I did "calibre-debug -g >calibre.log" and lo and behold, startup took about 17 seconds. The log file is attached to this post.
Next I tried a normal startup of calibre, and that also took less than 20 seconds.

The library and the database are all on a local disk on this server, disk G:, not C:.

It seems that the problem has disappeared by itself. Not very satisfying.
Nah - something must have changed, I suspect you know that - Windows Yipdate, AntiViral... etc

I don't believe in fairies, or hobgoblins - unless they're of the kind mentioned in Menken's "In Defense of Women". But let's hope the cure sticks - whatever it was.

Were any video conversions running - I know they run in a VM but...

Looks like you're running the the 32bit version of calibre. Any specific reason for that, not saying you shouldn't, or that it is the cause of the poor performance, but why use the Windows on Windows detour when there's no need.
