Extreme lag on first login

So every time I launch the game, it's basically frozen for three minutes or so.
The login process goes fine. Character select is fine. It's the first in-game map where things freeze up for a few minutes.
As long as I don't close the client or it doesn't crash, this doesn't happen again. It's just the first in-game map load after relaunching the client.
Any tips?

Identical issue... I've seen a few posts mention this but no conclusion.
I haven't definitively eliminated anything. Graphics settings don't seem to matter (everything on high or everything turned down, DX9\DX11). I'm on a 20 meg connection with decent latency. I don't recall this happening before I left (right after LoR release) but it has happened every time since I came back in Sept. I had a standalone version of STO installed when I played previously but I installed it through Steam this time around. My buddy who also uses Steam says it doesn't do it to him. It doesn't matter if I'm zoning in to space or ground nor if there's 70 ppl in the zone or a few.
(edit)Win 7 Pro 64bit..
Intel i5 quadcore
4Gig Ram
GTX570 (updated drivers... also happened on an older ATI card on the same system)
I've tried force verifying, using the proxy. The only workaround I've found so far is to go make a cup of coffee while it waits for whatever it's trying to find and\or do.
