Plugin querying would happen here. If you want to experiment you can
just remove the pluginrc, gimp then re-queries all the plugins.

But apparently this is not the cause for your slowdown.

Try the following: In the "moreutils"-Package there is a small utility
called "ts" (for TimeStamp). Then start Gimp like this:

$ gimp --verbose 2>&1 | ts -s [%.S]

ts then prefixes every line with a timestamp relative to the starting
time. That way you could try to figure out where the time is lost.
