Hay, a summary of all posts above
I got finally the possible SOLUTION out of thread - VLC Media Player 1.1.11 The Luggage slow open from Nov 23, 2011
A very rude and unrespectful Post to the developers by sniffy45 on Nov 12, 2014 did give me the answer
I'm running VLC media player 2.1.5 Rincewind on a Intel i5 Desktop with OS Win 7 (64bit) updated 2015may08
In Malwarebytes (pro) lays the problem. Go to Settings - Malware exclusions - select C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
(maybe you have to add also C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc-cache-gen.exe)
Only with VLC.exe added VLC opens on my 8 gB memory PC in 3 secs now.

other possible SOLUTION in tropic VLC very slow to start Posted very clear by wroot on Mar 07, 2015 11:29 am
This thread this problem started with the release of 2.x version. 1.x version was always instant to launch no matter the permissions or AV software in use.
I was using the same OS, same AV software with VLC 1.x and then updated to 2.x and suddenly VLC startup became 10+ seconds.
The most impactful thing was to exclude VLC folder in AV software (using Avast, excluding "Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\*" R and X checked (read and execute)).
This has made VLC to launch in a few seconds or faster.
