I just compared two cards, 512MB from Sigma and 1GB from Toshiba. On the 50G both need about half a second to boot. On newRPL they are there instantly.

Well, because that delay always annoyed me, I specifically avoid mounting the card during ON. The drawback is that the card will be mounted on first use, which will make the first operation a few milliseconds slower (doesn't take half a second either, mounting it's much faster on newRPL).
