30 seconds is about twice as long as I see when my controller wakes up from sleep. My guess is that the delay comes from either a) your wifi being slow to connect to or b) slow on receiving a dhcp address. While your wish for a quicker startup is entirely understandable and valid, consider that this device has much more intelligence built into it than most--it needs to pull itself out of sleep mode, power up the wifi, connect to the network and receive an IP address, tie itself to a SqueezeCenter/SqueezeNetwork and a player, and receive all the menu and status data from the server. Quite a bit more involved than, for example, a cell phone powering up (which, if you factor in connecting to a cell network, is often even slower). On the screensaver kicking in before/immediately after the wake has finished, that sounds like a bug. I opened bug 8906 against it http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8906 I might suggest as a workaround until the bug has been addressed: change the screensaver delay to something a bit longer than the default of 10 seconds.
