I think we should make Blender as fast as possible from click on the icon to the work screen (I have no problem with the greet screen). While I totally agree logically with the idea that we should be fixing bugs because that is the real time stealer. I have to say that the very first time I used the old blender I was very impressed by the boot/load time. I have been for a very long time tired of having a super-computer on my desk and then having to wait for it to do something that my C64 did almost as well and faster 20 years ago. I think Inkscape is the perfect poster child for a cool program that I avoid because the boot time is so long. Blender was the fastest program that I had seen in a long time. I loved it! My first impression with 2.5? SLOW and thus it really sucks compared to 2.4. I know this is not logical but only emotional. It is none the less true. Users think great programmers make fast, responsive, great programs. Looser programmers make slow, bad programs. First impressions stick!
