That's what I really dislike about the CFL curlicue lamps - they take a while, even where it's warm, to get to full brightness.
I have a couple in the front porch fixture, but only because it's a PITA to get to and I leave it on all night. I have a couple of coach lamps on either side of the garage, and those are LED lamps. I still have a few around the house, but they're in little used fixtures. Everything else has been converted to LED.
