On launchpad I've seen reports that this could be related to the number of fonts installed, which could indeed be part of the problem.

When I had about 1700 fonts installed on my previous setup, I could go and fetch a cup of coffee in the time it took Inkscape to start up.

So then I started to keep an Inkscape instance open, to open files via its menu instantly. Opening files via file manager meant the same startup delay every time!?
