The attached patch restores the behaviour of 1.3: initMath() is not called on
startup, but the first time a math inset is being inserted (or when a
document with math insets is loaded, respectively). I'm not sure if this is
the best approach, and it needs some testing. I just tested if symbols like
\alpha are being displayed.
Anyway, I think that initializing the whole math machinery during startup is a
big annoyance for all users who actually never need it, as long as it
consumes this amount of time.
I also thought about invoking initMath() at the end of the startup, but in the
background (asynchronously), which would probably be the most elegant way. I
don't know if this is already possible, though, and how. Furthermore, we
could of course try to speed up getSymbolFont :-)
What do you think?
