I could. But why do this?
That would start a process that may not be used.

I used a Gemalto GemPC Twin reader and I can get the card ATR just 1
or 2 seconds after starting pcscd. Some readers are much slower to
start.

Exact.
chgrp pcscd /var/run/pcsc
chmod g+rw /var/run/pcsc

This directory should be created and configured by /etc/init.d/pcscd
script (run as root)
