John,

I should have looked back at the previous messages in this thread,
since your problem is not so much compiling (on slackware), but
running.

I have not seen any delay starting up linphone, but I have only a few
addresses in linphonerc.

I have no solution, but I have two questions:
(1) Is it safe to assume that you have tried removing most of the
    numbers and observing that linphone starts quickly?
(2) If you have had any luck getting a version on another distro,
    does it also take a long time to start up there?
