Too much time spent on initialize GLUT
Author
As I record, the follows code :
yes that sounds way to much, dont know what the problem is, try running someone else glut code,
eg the glut version of the nehe code (lesson one). does it run much quicker?
if not perhaps reinstall your graphics cards drivers

I have tried to reinstall my graphic card driver. But the problem still exists.
Is that the problem of my graphic card setting? After installing the driver, should I set up anything else?
There's too little information available to say what the problem is.
Do opengl games that don't use glut take a long time to start? (going to http://nehe.gamedev.net/ and downloading one of the prebuilt tutorials would be an excellent way to test this)
Do other glut programs take a long time? (ditto).
What version of glut are you using? Is it freeglut or regular glut?
If only other glut programs are starting slow, then the problem lies with glut. If all opengl programs are starting slow, then my money says it's a problem with your driver or video card.
Personally I'd discourage you from using glut anyways, as it has had little to no support for some time now. I strongly encourage you to use SDL instead.

I am using glut-3.7.6 now. But what's the difference between freeglut and regular glut?
I download my glut package here:

The main difference with freeglut is that it's open source and more recent. That's not to say it's actually "better" per se, but maybe try it and see if it has the same problem.

I have tried to use Nvidia GeForce 6800 graphic card and the problem still exists.
Also, the freeglut is very difficult to install. There is no clear instruction
and no .lib files.

Come on, if you can compile your program you can certainly compile a library.
Are you able to debug your application and suspend it in the middle of the nine seconds of initialization, or to profile your application and get a report of where it spends time? What about the comparisons gharen2 suggests?

takes about 9 seconds to run, which is an unusual thing.
Is the sample you are running your own of the demo made by Dom from GPGPU.org?
The question the original poster should ask himself is: "Does this delay matter?"
I can't see how a slightly longer initialization will affect the runtime performance of the application, which should be what matters.
