Lilypond slow to start up on the Mac |

I’ve noticed on the Mac for some time that the first time I invoke Lilypond
from an external application after a reboot, it can take quite a while for it
to respond. Normally this is something like a 40–60 second delay, after which
Lilypond behaves normally. But a few days ago, after I updated to OS X 10.13.4,
it seemed that Lilypond was totally unresponsive over much longer periods.
After waiting about ten minutes, I finally walked away for dinner, and when I
came back, it was working normally. This happened with the latest development
build, but I’ve also had delays with the stable build (although never as long
as this was).
I was invoking Lilypond through Frescobaldi, but I’ve had the same (shorter)
initial delays on JEdit, and on multiple machines in the past.
During this longer wait, I could launch Lilypond.app and initiate a typesetting
activity from within it with no problem, so it is not Lilypond itself that
seems to be the problem, but rather something specific to external applications
calling it.
Is this a known issue? If so, any ideas on ways to fix it other than
typesetting something and walking away for 20 minutes before it responds?
