A few other users had a similar problem, and found that it was due to an anti-virus program. These programs can block or slow the running of a program.

Here's an example message of someone that had the problem

- Sure, but once you determine that it's a software problem, you need to determine what piece of software is causing the problem.
My c:\bb\data\FlashMessageLog.txt file reports that my bootup time is 4.7 seconds.
- my Bootup time in millseconds =4,777 [3/2/2015 6:51:54 PM]

Please post the top 20 lines of your c:\bb\data\FlashMessageLog.txt file in a message

Have Fun!
