Further to my previous post, I've discovered that if I disable 
networking then Emacs loads immediately (no hang).

The network connection where I am at the moment is not very reliable, so 
I'm wondering if org-mode is trying to make some kind of network 
connection which then hangs while waiting for a response that never 
comes back.
