With SCIFIO active, I go to import image sequence and select TIF files.  Prior to each tif file being imported, there is a long "initializing" time.  Something that normally takes a couple of seconds was dragging on for minutes before I force quit Imagej.

Inactivation of SCIFIO returns import speed to normal

SCIFIO supports a wider variety of TIFF files than ImageJ 1.x does, but is currently slower than ImageJ1's TIFF reader. Turning off SCIFIO support is the best option for now until the SCIFIO TIFF reader gets faster.
