Right or wrong... I do the following and it works.
#!/bin/sh

#
#  Fixes gnucash slooow startups...
#

cd /usr/ports/lang/guile
make deinstall

cd /usr/ports/devel/libltdl15
make deinstall

libltdl_cv_sys_dlopen_deplibs= yes
export libltdl_cv_sys_dlopen_deplibs

cd /usr/ports/devel/libltdl15
make clean
make install clean

cd /usr/ports/lang/guile
make clean
make install clean

suffering from the slow startups.

HTH.
