If you go into Spybot > Help > About you will find that you are probably running Spybot – Search Destroy 1.5.1.15.
There were many reports of Spybot 1.5.1.15 starting slowly. The problem has been found and fixed. See the following tracking task (which includes a link for a fix to the problem):
In addition there is another beta version of Spybot 1.5 that solves the slow start as well as other known problems that have been encountered since the original release of Spybot 1.5:
I got rid of 1.5 and went back to 1.4, the difference is very noticeable. I hope your new version has the bugs ironed out indeed. Beta to me means that not all the bugs have been ironed out and there is the potential for serious problems. I try and avoid beta programs if at all possible.
