It's funny you mentioned other media apps because that wasn't the similarity I was looking for with the applications I was listing. Besides being all media apps (which I didn't even notice), they all use DirectX for drawing and not GDI, like normal, everyday, sane Windows applications...

I opened it and let it sit there for a while to see if there were startup-related db caching things slowing me down. It sat on my desktop for half an hour, and was as bad after that as it is in the beginning.

As I said, it does nothing dynamically and, instead, loads the entire library index into memory on startup. There's nothing to cache since the library, itself, is pretty much "a cache." Startup is slow and there's nothing that can be done about that. In your case, having the library on a local store might make it faster...

I'm thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling. Thoughts?

It won't hurt to try this. I'm surprised you haven't tried it, already...
