Startup times do matter. If not in the "big picture" (compared to editing time), then at least in the "perceived picture". If the average computer user has to wait 20+ seconds for a program to open, they start to get grumpy. My wife called me at work the other day to complain about how long it took OpenOffice Writer to open. She threatened to buy a new computer complete with Microsoft software if I didn't fix it. I upgraded to version 1.1.4 and it seems to be faster.
