Being open source has nothing to do with it's long startup times.
Visual studio is also slow at starting (a lot slower than I'd like anyway). I think the main reason it takes so long is the plug-in architecture and the tens or hundreds of default plugins it uses. The more modular you make things (which eclipse is highly modularized) the longer it takes to coordinate everything. Combine this with Eclipse being written in Java and that is probably why it takes so long to startup.
