The startup delay doesn't seem to be affecting most people. That 
commit adds the font fallback mechanism if a glyph isn't found in 
the current font (an incredibly useful feature). I wonder whether 
the font you chose in config.h doesn't have the glyphs you tend to 
use, and hence st quietly has to iterate through other fonts in the 
cache to fond a more appropriate one.

Can you try configuring a few different default fonts, and see if 
that affects the startup time? "DejaVu Sans Mono" has a lot of 
glyphs, maybe start with that.

Nick
