Basically, the resize problem is that Emacs first sets up the frame with the toolbar before it reads your .emacs that disables it again. This can be avoided by disabling the toolbar via X resources: put Emacs.toolBar: 0 into your ~/.Xresources, and the resize problem is gone. However, I have never seen the five seconds freeze that you describe here. Does it still happen to you?
