I have seen this many times on other people (Windows) computer. Usually
they have a lot of plugins installed they don't use. Disabling them is
usually enough to make qgis start much more faster.

did you updated to the latest OL plugin version? anyway the plugin has
its own tracker on hub.qgis.org so if you think you found an issue
please file a ticket there.
