Starting, opening a file, and exiting.
If vi loads a file much faster than Emacs in normal usage, that's a
cause for concern, specially if we're talking of a long time (more
than a few tenths of seconds, well into the seconds). But the examples
were "start, read file, quit". For that kind of thing the user would
use emacsclient/server. Emacs almost expects to start once a day
(week, etc.) at most.
Note that I'm not saying that is the "right" way to use Emacs; just
that it is more optimized for that kind of pattern. I start Emacs many
times a day (though, truth be told, startup time has never been
problematic, unless you happen to open etc/HELLO ;-)
