I'm just going to add that Visual Studio 11 can start up in less than a 
second. Visual Studio 2010 could take well towards 10 seconds (and 
sometimes more if you have many extensions). They solved the problem 
simply by lazy-loading almost everything they could. It turns out that 
the majority of stuff that most IDEs load on startup isn't going to be 
used during a session, so it's just wasted time.
