BTW: any installation above Softimage 2011 did not configure MR distributed rendering within the installation process, like it was with earlier version (thanks to ADSK). But regardless if satellite rendering is working or not, Softimage will look for a rayhost file on startup. Then it reads the machine entries, looks for them on the network and will try to establish a link. That takes a little and even longer if these machines are non-existent or do not respond. In short: If you're not using mental rat satellite, you should delete all entries in the rayhosts file, if there are any. Or set a # in front of the machine names.
