I get almost the same results (4.9s for 1.4, 0.8 for 1.3 on a 1.3 GHz duron

(qt frontend) The time for 1.4 drastically improves for the xforms frontend:
1.5s. The reason is that lyx_gui::font_available takes quite some time in
the qt case. This is called several times from math initialization
(initSymbols).
It seems that we need help of a qt font guru!
Well, I have 20321 fonts according to xfontsel. The fonts are
serverd by xfs, not the xserver itself. I hope lyx-qt 1.4 isn't having
a look
at all of them during startup. qt itself is not the problem - lyx-qt 1.3
starts in less than a second on the same machine.
