Depends on the application. You can both start them too fast or too slow. Ideally, the response times should stay the same all throughout the test (if the application behaves stable). If you start them too slow you'll notice your response times are slower during ramp up, if you start them too fast you'll notice larger response times during ramp up.
I usually don't bother with this and cut the beggining and end of test from the log files. Or only monitor specific intervals during the test.
