I find much the same with anything I want to use on my desk PC
which as a routine I leave on 'hibernate' and wake it up well
before I want to use it.

My laptop (which has VAcorn on it) is even slower to reach normal
speed, but not nearly so slow if it is not connected to the
router.  This gives credence to your suspected culprits as
upgrades cannot be checked for, fetched or installed.

Is your laptop on line immediately you start it?

Brian.
