I didn't closely follow the earlier posts in this thread but doubt
there are problems with cover file loading or filesystems or anything
like that. By accident I found that much of the startup time is spent
loading genres and countries which are never used. Weird but true.
Cutting that out gave me a 10x improvement.
If you're able to edit and build source go into mythplugins/mythvideo/
mythvideo/metadata.cpp and in Metadata::fillDataFromID comment out
the two fillXXX() calls. That's a rough version of my patch and
should get you the same instant loads even when you load metadata.
If you'd rather not then just wait for the next release which will
have the patch integrated.
