I would expect it to be a little faster than 1.5 to 3 seconds, so I kind of wonder what it's doing in that time; maybe if the local case was a bit faster (e.g. 1 second max, half a second on average) then the remote case would be better too? I do have some compiz eye-candy enabled (System -> Appearance -> Visual Effects is set to "Normal"), don't know if that's relevant or not. But I don't see any delay that's approaching 15 seconds.
It's usually trying to contact your address books during that delay. Problem is we do that (synchronously) in the same execution thread that draws the UI, so the UI is blocked from displaying the window. If you have remote address books, especially ones that are large or slow to respond, this can cause the significant delay you're seeing. The good news is we have a patch to address this (thanks to Milan Crha), and I think it may have been committed to the development branch already. Matthew Barnes
