On my system (Win2K SP4, Dual Palominos @ 1666, 768MB DDR) it takes
approximately 6.5 seconds to completely load Firebird from the time the exe is
invoked to the time the window is loaded and cursor is blinking in the address
bar. IE6 SP1 takes about 1.5 seconds. I think a large priority of Firebird
should be to compete with IE on the Windows platform, mainly meaning speed. I'm
sure an intensive efficiency audit could only better the performance of the
Firebird browser. I wouldn't even be opposed to a pre-loader type application
that would start with Windows (in that case, starting as an NT service would be
a MUST) like Seamonkey has.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reboot
2. Start Firebird
3. Observe startup time
