That isn't normal.  This literally should only take seconds for the 
master process to spawn.

You might try enabling debug in MailScanner and observing your 
logs/journalctl to see if you can pinpoint the source of the lengthy start.

      Whenever I start MailScanner it takes a very long time to
      initialize. I can see it does some initial checks, like a lintlite
      and ms-peek to all work directories, but that takes a very long
      time, on average 8 minutes:<br>
