I'm interested to know what Encore is processing during project load.
I thought it might be checking links to Premiere Pro, or checking transcode files.
The Pr project linked to loads pretty quickly on my machine.
Any info welcome. Thanks.

That more likely is a question to ask in http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general
What do you see on the screen? Loading transcode presets can take some time.
It may be checking links, but more likely generating cached files. That should only happen once as long as you aren't having permissions problems.
You can try the "Run As Administrator" that improves some problems.
