WAG: your APR uses /dev/random as random source which blocks when it runs out of entropy. You could re-build APR after you ./configure'd it with --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom or you could try Mladen's advice here http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&m=118209169008472&w=2 "Or one can simply create a $HOME/.rnd file by himself with 'openssl rand -out $HOME/.rnd 2048'"
Bingo! It's deceptive that the delay comes before the mention of the HTTPS connector - that combined with some bad advice I found on the internet confusing configuring Java to use urandom instead of configuring APR and I thought I'd eliminated that option.
In the end, ~root/.rnd and ~tomcat55/.rnd were both ignored but setting the RANDFILE environment variable worked. Not sure what it was defaulting to.
Anyway, everything now starts up lightning fast. Thanks for the help.
