You may try to collect stack and try to guess where does Xorg spend it's
time. Something like
dtrace -n 'profile-1001 /pid == $target/ { @num[ustack()] = count(); }' -p
`pgrep Xorg`
Run this prior to xterm execution, and break the dtrace process once
xterm is running.
It will probably be long listing, so I recommend redirect output to file
using '-o file'.
But generally I would recommend using sun studio performance analysis
tools ( make your X only start terminal and exit )

Using other terminal emulators is giving you the same issue, or they
start faster ? What graphic card are you using ?
