Because you don't use extra plug-ins, scripts and, especially, brushes.
So true... Mine takes quite a while... like 10 seconds...
I'm thinking 1 to 2 seconds would be good.
How about loading the UI first, and carry out the rest of the loading showing a progress bar at the screen bottom? (Better still, don't show loading progress at all :) )
So the 1-2 second start-up would not show any progress-bar on the splash screen... making the user feel awesome! :)

Let me tell about brushes :) GIMP loads them *all* into memory when it
starts. So if you have a bunch of bitmap brushes that weight ca. 1GB
which isn't so uncommon when you do e.g. photoart, you have to wait
for GIMP to finish loading that all *and* you have it using lots of
RAM for no good reason, because GIMP doesn't load resources on demand
in a smart way (the -d option is a non-smart way).
