Why would you need to wait for Emacs to come up on a modern machine?
The only use case I can think of that really causes a long startup is
when you use desktop.el to save and restore the last session. But in
that case, you probably don't want to specify a file on the command
line anyway, since desktop.el would already visit the files you want.
But if there are use cases that I'm missing, how about using
emacsclient instead, as I suggested?

Now, _that_ is precisely what emacsclient is for. We even say so in
the manual (see the node "Emacs Server").
