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!?
The Scribus guys have some font caching code that might reduce or solve the problem. Now that we have 0.48 pretty much set, it would probably be good for anyone interested in that aspect to check it out.
