Answer 1

Based on the components you've installed, the visual studio may take time to load/start. However it is always depend on the specs of your computer and if there are other applications running that affects the process of your workstation.

Some tips:

Remove features that you don't need, like if your not going to develop mobile application, you can temporarily remove Xamarin Xamarin.Android Xamarin.iOS Xamarin.TestCloud.Integration. Just temporarily remove the features of VS2015 that you dont need, then you can add it back when you need it.
