This is actually quite hard to debug without seeing the machine. Do you get any "interesting" stuff happening while it starts? Does running a monitor like gkrellm show anything interesting on its graphs while loading? Here, it's the bit after the splash appears that takes the time.

After trying various things and as a last resort I decided to uninstall my user's local version and re-install.
It now takes 10 seconds to start with the splash screen appearing almost instantly.
