With R2014b, MATLAB introduced Source Control Integration. This integrates with services such as Subversion® or Git™ and is enabled by default. This can cause MATLAB to be slow starting up with a "Getting status for file" message if there is a problem with the configuration. Make sure that you are not having inadvertently too many files/directories under source control.
In general, disabling this feature may resolve the issue. Source Control Integration can be disabled if you are not using it by following the below:
On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences.
In the Preferences dialog box, in the MATLAB > General > Source Control pane, select None
