Does it happen on all windows versions i.e. windows 10, windows 7 etc?

I myself experience different behaviour in setting a control's parent 
under windows 10 and windows 7.
In Windows 10, it takes 10 seconds to create children controls within a 
TFrame's constructor if its parent is already set.
No problem in windows 7.
Eventually, I only create the children controls before setting the 
TFrame's parent.

If your problem only appear in windows 10, maybe the parent property is 
where you should look at.
