Such applications are often database applications. Connecting to a database easily eats up the seconds.
For a Win32 application it is often the lack of knowledge by the average programmer about the way Delphi handles the forms. Often all the forms and dialogs are created on startup and this takes time.
Nothing new for D2006 though.
