My experience on Windows is that if you launch Squeak.exe by double-
clicking, it can take a while to bring up the dialog where you can
choose an image. However, if you drag an image file onto Squeak.exe, or
use a batch file to pass it as a parameter, the image starts up much
faster.
I should add that associating .image files with Squeak.exe, then
double-clicking on the image file, probably has the same effect.
For what it's worth, on my 2 Ghz Core Duo, Squeak starts almost instantly
no matter what. The killer seems to be Squeak not knowing what image file
to use. On a 3Ghz machine it takes 15 seconds. (Under Windows. Under
Linux, an old 1Ghz machine pops Squeak up in a second or two.)
