If you delete all of the plugins you don't want, this will speed things up for you.
Alternatively, if you make a static build (I forgot the precise invocation), then the plugins are compiled in rather than loaded dynamically. I don't have time right now to go into why plugins are a great idea, but hopefully the suggestions above will sort out your immediate problems.
