I kept trying to figure out what was going on. I had concluded that it had something to do with Microsoft's symbol server. Using tcpdump I could see that it was doing things. So, I shut down that day to think about it. The next day I tested it again and there was no delay. My internet connection was fast on both days. So, I think that the problem is resolved. I did not know that you can turn on the debugger log. I'll do that if this happens again. I also tried to store the symbols locally, but not sure that I've done that correctly. I do see my symbols in the directory specified and Qt's symbols, but no Microsoft symbol files.
