I don't have anything concrete to contribute to the core of this issue,
I would just say that for the average user a startup time < 0.5s is
probably in the noise: if the startup time was 2s then there would be an
issue but < 0.5s is likely no problem.  So whilst getting startup time
down is good, I would suggest that making overall elapse time of the
common commands for common size branches as short as possible should be
the highest priority.
