That is strange - 10s is surely too much.
You are probably using evaluation version. Here the licensing code is more complex and takes much longer as in the commercial version. In evaluation version the code must scan through registry to find the keys that are used to store evaluation data.
Still 10s is much too much. The evaluation check should be done in much less than 1s.
Maybe there is something else that is blocking the UI thread and showing the controls.
You can check this by simply just creating an instance of the ZoomPanel in code with the following line:
Ab2d.Controls.ZoomPanel zoomPanel = new Ab2d.Controls.ZoomPanel();
Put this line as the first line in you constructor (before InitializeComponents) and set breakpoint to the line. Once the breakpoint is hit, press F10 to execute the line. The conductor will call the licensing code - the time to execute the line will also give you the time that is needed to check the evaluation version.
