Yup... $ fc-list | wc -l 9069 And that's only active fonts. GIMP starts in under 5 seconds though, and this computer is several years old. And since 99% of Microsoft Windows users are just game players we should drop support for it :-) More seriously, i don't think dropping support for text is a solution. As Jehan wrote, GIMP doesn't have any full-time Windows developrs. The GIMP work is done by volunteers, so if you know how to solve this Windows-specific slow startup problem, become a volunteer! Do you have your fonts on a network drive by the way? Is GIMP slow to start only the first time after you installed or removed a font? Do you have Monotype SkyFonts installed?
