X11 fork? Do u even realize what are u talking about ?

Well I still give an answer from my understanding, not for you but for others users as well.

The slow start of the client is already a well-known problem and the team are working hard on it.

Due to its zerocoin implementation, upfront starting loading the blocks, the client needs to re-verify the existing blocks (important feature of Zerocoin to ensure no double spending or error in zerominting). Because of the current algo (Lyra2 with quite high matrix dimension), it makes the verification even slower.

Things will get much better with further improvements and MTP release.

The seed nodes are quite slow too, I will ask Poramin about improvements on that part as well.
