Currently Linux performance loading large binaries is at least perceptually worse than Windows (some of that is perceptual tricks windows apps pull, some of it real). There is an openoffice.org related analysis project currently under way to sort that out.
A second problem is the popularity of some very inefficiently written desktops which badly need a good optimise, a diet and/or stuffing where the sun doesn't shine. The kernel can only do so much of the work and comparing xfce4 with gnome/kde shows that the kernel isn't the only party involved in this....
