iCal has a Help menu item that might give you some subjects to look  
for as answers.

I would still advise trying to disable the automatic synchronization  
function (your latest message did not clearly indicate that you had  
tried that yet) and seeing if the problem still existed at iCal startup.

I have seen many other programs that started running at the time the  
computer was turned on and caused terrible delays in reaching a  
"ready to run" state. Every time this "startup function" was  
disabled, the computer ran without repeating the spinning disk delay.  
The most predominant programs of this sort were anti-virus,  
synchronization, back-up, and email fetchers with multiple  
subscriptions.

That is why I suggested disabling the automatic synchronization  
function as a test. If the problem disappears when the automatic  
function is shut off, then the problem is probably being caused by  
one or more of the separate computers that the synchronization is  
being attempted with. From that point, I would remove the separate  
computers from the synchronization list one at a time and try to  
synchronize to the remaining computers as a test. That would pinpoint  
the computer responsible for the delay, if any is responsible at all.
