In your <installed disk:>\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\tomcat\logs\stderr.log, how long do you see the startup time take?
- e.g. INFO: Server startup in 490071 ms
and what is the top line in your tomcat.gc.log said?
- e.g.
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (24.76-b04) for windows-amd64 JRE (1.7.0_76-b13), built on Dec 18 2014 16:31:25 by "java_re" with unknown MS VC++:1600

Max memory 4 GB? Try to increase it to 8192 MB in Tomcat config if you have 32 GB RAM or more.
You can also set nocache to false in all web.xml in <installed disk:>\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\tomcat\webapps to enable cache for images, etc, although this might give you a marginal improvement.
At last, redploy BOE.war and see if this clear the BI Launchpad bottleneck if none of above works.
