Movie Render Queue takes a long time to start (and then renders fast) - any way to make it start quicker?

Whenever I try to render out a sequence with Movie Render Queue, the render window opens up and stays blank for a long time (sometime several minutes), before actually starting to render out the frames. Once it starts, it renders fast, but the sometimes the render window stays blank for longer than it takes to actually render the whole scene…

Is this normal? Is there a way to improve that time before it starts the actual render?
