Depends on the app. I'm on 1.2ghz duron. I think the slowest starting app I have is visual studio 2005,( but its not entirely managed afaik )...I guess its roughly about 30 seconds for startup.
Good article on reducing startup time here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/02/CLRInsideOut/default.aspx
Doesn't really help you as an end user, but if you're curious it will explain whats going on behind the scenes.
*EDIT* Heh... I've been on a customizing kick the past day or so, and this talk about visual studio's slow start up got me lookin around. I disabled the start up logo, and the news item. It now starts in like 4 seconds. *EDIT*
