Can you make this temporary, going back to 1.5s for Sage 5?  Something
like

   from sage.misc.banner import version_dict
   if version_dict()['major'] < 5:
       time = 2.0
   else
       time = 1.5  (or 1.3?  we should try to improve things.)

   ... then compare the startup time to the value of 'time' ...

This way there is some motivation to fix the startuptime problem and
we don't just forget about it.
