Before you do unnecessary work, I made a small test. See the patch. The 
patch disables image loading (strictly speaking it allows only one image 
to be loaded and always uses this image). Then you can test a speed gain 
of IDE launch. I haven't observed any speed improvement. The IDE launch 
time is still the same. Does it reduce IDE launch time for you?
So image loading is not a problem at all.

Btw. if something should be improved about IDE launching - does Lazarus 
allow a "single IDE" option? E.g. when I open a .pas file in windows 
explorer or whatever, it is opened in the already active Lazarus IDE and 
not in a new one? Something like "UniqueInstance" 
(http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/UniqueInstance) for the IDE?
