Some of this is philosophical changes in usage style.  I think these  
days you're supposed to start it up once and just LEAVE IT RUNNING:   
"You should never have to leave Eclipse except to check FaceBook."   
Some people use EMACS that way, too, replacing normal shells.  (emacs  
isn't zippy to start either, and is inexplicably sensitive to network  
delay between the X client and server.  Sigh.)

I don't think that way either ("inefficient resource consumption"),  
but it certainly seems that programmers fail to optimize startup time...
