I have had the same feeling with Windows XP so I took some timings. I have 
QGis 1.9.90 from OSGeo4W and computer is Windows XP SP3.

Fist startup
- 50 seconds before the "Master" splash screen shows
- 60 seconds more and "Checking provider plugins" is ready
- 40 second more and QGIS is started
Total time was thus 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Next startups
- total startup time between 5 and 15 seconds (10 repeats).
