Running 64bit version of 0.3.21, I open the bitcoin GUI about once a day, and each time it takes over a minute for the GUI to appear at all.
Why doesn't the GUI first and load the blocks and other data in the background? A modal progress dialog could be used to prevent input, even. The way it works right now unless you tail -F ~/.bitcoin/debug.log, you have no idea why bitcoin isn't starting up. The fact that the load takes over a minute (quad core, 4GB ram), there should be some kind of 'work is being done' indicator.

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

Hm....it takes about 6-7 seconds to start on my machine (with the full block chain and everything). My specs: Intel Core 2 Duo T7800 2.6 Ghz, 4.00 GB RAM, 64-bit Win7.

I just opened it a few minutes ago and it loaded with about 10 seconds. Even though this was considerably faster, it's still slower than starting firefox! Load the GUI first, defer everything else until after the GUI is up, or run both in parallel.

Mine takes forever and a half to start as well.

There should be a progress bar window noticing the user that the program was already started and lengthy operation is in progress.
