There is actually alot of research going into this very issue. Essentially what 'takes so long' is seeking the hardrive for data and loading said data into memory. Hard drove speed has been improving as has memory access speed, but it will still take time.
The solution. It's called NVRam...Non-Volatile Random Access Memory. Memory that does not loose it's contents when powered off. That way nothing needs to be re-found on the hard drive or re-loaded into memory when powered back on.
It's certainly a few years off...but rest assured your interest has been heard and being worked on.
