@Vlada - IIRC you just recently (2013-02-04) reported launch times of 40 or more seconds: did you notice any difference with the most recent builds since then (revision >= 12105)?
Revisions <12112 time: real 0m37.590s user 0m37.110s sys 0m0.180s
Revision 12112 time: real 0m45.933s user 0m39.158s sys 0m0.392s
(I've measured startup time a few times and took what is closest to mean value)
For comparison purposes Scribus gives me: real 0m9.725s user 0m6.552s sys 0m0.508s and yet there I have to manually close Welcome (New document) dialog and hit Close application icon.

Ugh, we're getting slower... what revision is the <r12112 data from?
I've just checked in a change (r12113) that might speed things up some.

I took a quick look at Scribus's font handling code. It seems very simple as they rely on QT's font classes. Gtk does have equivalent classes (deprecated GtkFontSelection and new from 3.2 GtkFontChooser) but I don't know if using these would be any faster and we would probably have to add a lot of functionality.
