I leave my browser open always, only closing it to clear out the memory leaks. So start-up isn't terribly important to me.

My FF opens pretty quickly by my standards. What seems to take forever is closing it. It seems to me that there ought to be some performance optimizations to be found in that area.

Are you using Readability? There was a recent change made to fix massive shutdown hangs when using that addon (or others that use FUEL):
