Performance is not good

[xuzhao9]

I am using Macbook Air.
I turn on (load-theme 'airline-solarized-alternate-gui t) and everytime I startup Emacs, it spends 2 seconds to switching from "NORMAL" to "INSERT" mode. Switching from "INSERT" to "VISUAL" mode is even slower, ~5s.

The performance problem disappears when I comment the load-theme line from my config.

Any ideas why I have this performance problem?
