If you haven't tried 1.9.0 yet it does start up faster than 1.8.1.
For what it's worth, on my SunBlade 100,
R 1.7.1 started in 4 seconds of CPU time, 25 seconds of wall-clock time
R 1.9.0 starts in 3 seconds of CPU time, 20 seconds of wall-clock time.
I measured the time by doing
% time R

It's really good to see *any* improvement in startup time, and I must
thank the R developers for even *trying* to do anything about it. There's
some way to go yet; octave starts in under a second.
