Is it normal for my Macbook to open an app in 20 seconds ?

That sounds pretty slow. My apps open almost instantly on my 2010 MBP, but I have an SDD in it, which made an enormous difference. My daughter has a 2012 MBP with an HDD. When I use her's it feels really slow when opening apps, but I never timed them.
25 sec to open iTunes is not normal.
Use Disk Utility (Applications / Utilities) to check / repair the disk and repair the permissions, restart the Mac. What is the delay now ?

Thank you, I did that and its much better. The first time I launched iTunes took 11 seconds, but after I quit it, each time I launch it again it takes less 3 seconds, just like in Apple store.
I think another important thing before was the number of applications open at one time, especially many Firefox tabs, which include some add-ons as well. And the fact that I almost never shut down or restart the Macbook.
Yes, you are right.I think another important thing before was the number of applications open at one time, especially many Firefox tabs, which include some add-ons as well. And the fact that I almost never shut down or restart the Macbook.
I would also suggest to use "Maintenance" from time to time : it's very easy to use and can't hurt anything.
(Maintenance checks the disk and repairs the permissions as Disk Utility does).
