So these are the results of my latest testing and observations:
1) The latest nVidia driver had no effect at all.
2) After a reboot, the problem came right back, taking almost a full 2 minutes to open up CCleaner. I watched it in ProcessExplorer and the funny thing is that it does almost nothing during this time. It's using <4MB of RAM and the CPU usage would VERY occasionally blip to .5% or so during that time but that was all.
3) In safe mode, running as the administrator, it will open almost instantly.
Not really sure that the means other than it must be something that's running and messing with it. The really odd thing is that this just started to happen recently with the newer builds of CCleaner. I am posting my HijackThis log with the hope that maybe that will help shed some light on the problem.

Just out of interest is it as slow when you open it in safe mode?
Haven't tried, I will give it a shot and let you know.
-
Do you have the latest NVIDIA drivers installed?
No, I do not, I have the 176.14 driver on my laptop and the 175.19 driver on my desktop. I will try to update the drivers and see what I can come up with.
-
Try disabling the running applications one at a time.
I bet in order of probability:
1. TeaTimer
2. RealVNC
3. BitMeter
No effect at all, all three have been killed and I still have the same problem....

On my 2.4GHZ P4 with 512MB RAM running XP Home SP3 the latest CCleaner comes up instantly for me.
What is the graphics adapter type?
In CCleaner go to Tools then Startup then show the Startup applications.
Both graphics cards are NVIDIA, as listed in my post with my system specs.

Just wondering if you have any sort of program/start up monitor on your systems (apart from usual things like avast, avg etc)
Anything out of the ordinary? Any tweaks ?
I do run the SpyBot resident on both machines, but disabling it seems to have no effect. As far as tweaks, I tweak things all the time, I just did one on Vista to get it to work correctly with Samba. I can't think of anything that would have any effect on CCleaner, and I don't think that there are any common tweaks between the systems. The programs the they share (that run resident) are these:
RealVNC
Daemon Tools
SpyBot
Winamp (agent)
XAMPP (Apache, MySQL, Filezilla Server)
BitMeter
That's all I can really think of.

Strange that there should be this problem. Your machine setups are different and unless you use something on both machines that is 'interfering' it's a bit of a mystery.
For most people, including me, it opens instantly.
Let us know how you get on.
It just started happening in the more resent builds. I'm not sure exactly which one, but it used to do the same for me. It used to open almost instantly. I actually managed to get into my system at home and had better luck there with the slim version. Startup time was <5 seconds.
-
If you fancied a bit of investigation work, you could always try the slim download (which I and quite a few others use) and see if your problem persists.
It's still a bit slow, but not nearly so much. It opened in about 20-25 seconds on my desktop here at work. I won't get a chance to try the laptop until the evening to see how it works there.
-
Do you use the full or slim version?
When I say slim, I mean as the slim version here, as opposed to full version with toolbar unchecked
Full version with the toolbar unchecked.

I have actually been having this exact same problem on both my desktop at work, and my laptop at home. CCleaner takes over a minute usually to open. I don't have the Yahoo toolbar installed on either machine. These are the specs of both machines:
Desktop:
Windows XP Professional
AVG 7.5
Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 @ 2.83GHz
2GB DDR2 5300 RAM
250GB 7200RPM SATA Drive
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 256MB
Laptop:
Windows Vista Home Premium (32bit)
Avast! 4.8
AMD Turion X2 RM-70 @ 2.00GHz
3GB DDR2 5300 RAM
250GB 5400RPM SATA Drive
NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G 256MB
I have the very latest version of CCleaner on both machines. Both systems are fully up-to-date including SP3 for XP and SP1 for Vista.
CCleaner slow to start up

LOL, sorry, I should have said something about that. Since that log came from my desktop at work, those are the programs that we use to do key logging on all the systems throughout the network.
hazelnut,
I believe that small remnant (you will notice the "no file") is what was left after I removed the toolbar installed at the factory.
As for IE 8, I don't believe so as I have been using it since the first beta which has been some time now. Though I did recently switch to beta2 of IE8 which could possibly have something to do with it.
I will post in the spyware forum but I would be almost %100 that there is nothing malicious on this systems. It sits behind a firewall, iSensor (thoroughly inspects each packed), and multiple levels of AV scanning.
