The big jump in ticks comes when your computer tries to initialise Audition's Back End. This is the function that does information transfers between Audition and the rest of your computer. The fact that it starts in the end appears to indicate that for whatever reason, your computer either isn't ready for it, or is doing something else at the time, hence the delay. Do you get an actual crash from this?

no it just hangs on the Initializing auUI splash screen forever.

In that case you'll have to find out what is stealing the processing cycles away at that point. Hot favourites are WiFi polling and anti-virus software, but there could be other contenders too - almost any other running software is potentially capable of slowing a startup after all, depending upon what it's doing at the time.
