Sage is known to start up quite slowly on some hardware/software. I personally find it takes only a few seconds on my Sun Ultra 27. That machine has a quad core 3.33 GHz CPU, but only has standard 7200 rpm SATA disks - nothing special like SAS disks, which will give higher performance at considerly higher cost. But on my laptop, which has a 640 GB 5400 rpm disk, Sage does take almost half a minute to start up. Both systems use the ZFS file system - in fact the laptop a later version, so its not that. I think you will find solving the startup time is on the "TODO" list.
