The cause of this bug could be fontconfig building the font cache at initial startup.

With many fonts on a slow system I guess it actually could take some minutes to finish.
During that time the Inkscape process would only be active in background (visible in taskmanager), using up 100% CPU time of one core, with the GUI start being delayet until building the cache is complete.

If I remember correctly earlier versions of Inkscape used to generate the fontconfig cache only when actually importing PDFs, so initial startup was not delayed.
