I've conducted a few repeated measurements and it looks as though
setting LANG to be en_US somewhat reduces the start time of emacs-x11:

open still seems unreasonable.
Any other ideas?
Hmm....
You don't have any emacs fonts being set via ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources?
Actually, I do. However, following the suggestion of Ken Brown
http://www.mail-archive.com/cyg...@cygwin.com/msg107126.html
I've invoked emacs with -Q (and also, just to make sure, removed my
~/.Xdefaults). It did not change anything: emacs still takes ~30
seconds to open.
It still might be font related. You mentioned earlier in the thread
that you installed all available font packages. Do you have a very
large ~/.fontconfig directory as a result? Maybe emacs has to process
this every time it starts up. (I'm not sure.)
What if you delete this directory and do a minimal Cygwin install
without so many fonts? I think the first time you start emacs it may
call fc-cache to populate ~/.fontconfig, but after that it might start
faster.
