As a .NET application Powershell needs to be JITed before execution starts.

However in most systems I never had more than 5s startup time.

I have had some long start times like the parent. Typically it's pretty short. I do agree, though, that not having that instance start time is a bit psychologically confusing... it's a shell, how could it not start instantly! However, typically if I'm developing I'll just leave one open at all times and it's not an issue.
