Comment 9 for bug 99815

Re-opening. I'm very much experiencing this currently:
With statistics plugin enabled: 1:20 to start, without:

real 0m3.448s
user 0m0.036s
sys 0m0.012s

Activating the statistics plugin already blocks the UI.
When starting with the plugin enabled, I'm getting the following before the (first) forking alone:
real 0m25.386s
user 0m0.036s
sys 0m0.012s

STDERR:

I can provide strace output (via "strace -f -t -o").
