 On my machine : intel i3 540, 2G of RAM and FreeBSD 9.1 it takes

        Additional data point:
        System:

FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0 r248938: Sun Mar 31 06:24:42 EDT 2013  amd64

        Hardware:

        AMD Phenom, 4 cores @ 3 Ghz, 8mbytes RAM

        With the load (as reported by top) at around 6, Firefox 20 also
takes ~12 seconds.
        On the other hand ... once I open a browser I work within it,
until it's no longer needed (or it crashes :-( ).  Opening a new
window/tab in SeaMonkey is so fast I can barely see it happen.

I have a <$300 HP desktop. No Flash, Java. Firefox starts immediately (<1 sec) would need a stopwatch to be more accurate. the specs:

  firefox-9.0.1,1
  xorg 7.5.1
  -----
  9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD
  CPU: AMD E-350 Processor (1600.03-MHz K8-class CPU)
  real memory  = 2147483648 (2048 MB)
  avail memory = 1638866944 (1562 MB)
  FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s)

Slow bandwide, DNS, website can add to things. I use our website as Home and have the cheapest Comcast cable service. FreeBSD was compiled, firefox and xorg from 9.0 packages.
