That seems to start it a few seconds faster, but then that might
have as much to do with available system memory, other processes
making file system calls, etc. as with anything else.  I just posted
the output of $ gimp --verbose elsewhere in this thread, in case
anyone here might find something useful in there.  I got nothing to
compare it to myself...

But again, I have not seen a substantial difference in start-up time
across a variety of versions and platforms from GIMP 2.6 on Windows
XP through the current stable version on Mint 17.
