Before (2.8.4) it was close to 15 seconds. I've not really counted 
though as I just go to another works-space and prepare something else or 
check FB or something.

I know, just saying I didn't have a problem with it.

Well, it seems to be the case now with the latest update 2.8.6 (e.g. it 
rushes through that step where before it never did). Because I used to 
that delay when I launched it after upgrading to 2.8.6 (admittedly only 
two launches since the update, but uncountable ones before) I would just 
launch and go do something else for a few moments while GIMP organized. 
After my last post to the list I had need to launch it again (to export 
some tif to jpg for use on Facebook) and paid attention and it just flew 
through like normal.
