JS Paint – A web-based MS Paint remake

I have SSDs, and GIMP for Windows starts up slower than Eclipse (!).

In my experience the Linux version starts up faster than the Windows one.

Indeed. 4-5 secs to open GIMP on Linux here on HDD, and practically instant once cached. Maybe try and start with some command-line options. Useful ones in your case:

-d, —no-data

Do not load patterns, gradients, palettes, or brushes. Often useful in non-interactive situations where startup time is to be minimized.

-f, —no-fonts

Do not load any fonts. No text functionality will be available if this option is used.

-s, —no-splash

Do not show the splash screen.

Up to a minute with SSD? Okay that's odd. I totally see your point.
