thank you for your bug report, I don't get really get the issue on my hardy installation, on a not really recent box gedit takes around 1 second to start. the issue is not likely distribution specific and the ubuntu desktop team doesn't have the ressources to work on such optimisation, but maybe you could open the bug directly on bugzilla.gnome.org?
