"Startup times are drastically faster" - is that 1 millisecond as opposed to 2?

Startup time is more like 5-10s for me on a Core i5 iMac. Better than eclipse, not better than vim.

Same for me, i7 Win7. Thankfully I rarely have a reason to close ST2 once open.

I have a Core i5 MBP and ST3 takes 1 second or less to start.

It's actually so much faster, that the operating system's method of drawing windows is the prime determinant of startup speed perception. Surprisingly, the winning OS is windows.
