I am always surprised by people themselves surprised to hear that it is not a 
problem. 

I am a Windows user, Emacs starts with Windows. When I quit my job, 
I put my laptop  in hibernation, and I resume when I come home. 
Same thing the other way around. 
Basically, Emacs starting time is not a problem because 
Emacs is not an editor you quit. And even without using a daemon,
there is always emacsclient.
