I can confirm the startup speed problem. I created a bugreport for it with
some detail analysis.

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1177718

If I understand it right, zim queries for an existing server on startup
before starting a new one and has a ≈10 second timeout waiting for a
response that will never come.
