Takes about 40-50 seconds to "checking extensions..." and total one minute to boot up.
Is this normal or too long?

A bit too long, assuming you have proper virtualization acceleration. I don't know whether the free VMWare products give you that.

If you boot with "showapps", you can see which extension takes the most time.
