Comment(by garycmartin):

 OK. Think I have it... Tested launching times while connected jabberd
 server (about ~10 buddies showing, maybe 2 visible activities share icons)
 and with jabberd server removed (just mesh icons and ~6 APs showing in
 Neighborhood). Allowing time for the buddy appearances to stabilise before
 testing when connected to jabberd (i.e no more visual buddy updates) gave
 the 5-8sec delay before launch window result. Removing the jabberd server
 setting, and restarting, the launch window appears 1-2sec after clicking.

 With just one XO here I can't tell if it's jabberd vs salute, X number of
 buddies, N shared activities, or some combination that brings the launch
 window appearance time to it's knees. I'll try and keep an eye on the
 Neighborhood and report if I see a pattern.

 Hope that helps others test.
