So you are seeing this even if a player is running? That's indeed quite
long.
I have only be seeing this is the server really has not been used at all
for quite a while.
One more thing: you mention something about not being able to e.g. power
off a player: does this mean you don't even see the list of players?
That would be a different issue then, this means iPeng doesn't even have
a connection to the server and the server status has not yet come in.
This sounds more like an issue with your iThingy getting disconnected
from WiFi and having to reconnect or something (if the server is up and
running and even music is playing on some players).

I meant with consecutive cold starts. If the App stays in memory it
_looks_ faster (the player list and menu is preserved) but menus should
then re-initialize whenever the main menu comes in. If you can't even
get the initial connection done then any commands sent to the player
should fail, too.

There is no time limit. iOS suspends Apps in the background but keeps
them in memory as long as the memory isn't otherwise needed. If some
other App needs lots of memory, the suspended App gets purged from
memory and needs to restart when you want to go back.
One thing to prevent this is to keep iPeng active in the background
("Settings->iPeng Settings->Preserve Connection" but it will impact
battery life since the App stays active in this case.

You mean the server logs _nothing_ when iPeng connects??? Are you sure
you are using that server? Usually the server should at least throw a
lot of warnings due to some bugs in internal components, it usually does
that whenever a device requests a menu.
