The startup delay, at least the first time around, is making sure all 
the fonts are in place and working correctly. It should be, depending 
on the score of course, quicker next time.

This is one of the reasons I'm sticking to my old clamshells. In my 
experience, they are the last of the "good macs"--the ones where I can 
upgrade the HD and memory, and have some control over my destiny. I, 
for one, am very happy to be able to run lilypond on it 

All the best.
