In all of these cases the startup of the initial xemacs window is excruciatingly slow, several minutes.  In all cases I can start up in terminal mode (-nw) fast.      And now I can add that if I tell this xemacs to display on a remote host, it is fast -- even if the remote host is in fact the SAME physical machine.  (That is, if in an xterm I do ssh -Y  from my machine to itself, and then start up xemacs from within that ssh session, the initial xemacs window comes up in just a few seconds!).

Are you setting $DISPLAY (or any other X11 relevant envvar) in your 
~/.bash*, ~/.profile, .xinitrc, or any other startup script?
