Two solutions were suggested on

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=343688#c10

1: Disable "Synchronize Automatically" in the view menu of the task list.

2: Close the Task List view so it is not visible on startup, and under Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown disable Mylyn Team UI and Mylyn Tasks UI

The first solution was reported as working.
