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!?
When you open a new file from the file manager, a new instance is started. When you do it from the menu, a new window is created in the existing instance.

I'd pointed this out a few times, and tried to get help in the past. Basically all we need to do is leverage existing approaches and standards to get the good combination of flexibility, smaller distribution sizes, easier theming and faster startups. One of the standard directories covered by the XDG Base Directory Specification is a 'cache' directory
By using the librsvg loader we still halve our startup time (IIRC) and only need to include discrete SVG icons.
