I don't know how long it takes for the 3G radio to get going from a power-off state, but I imagine it takes longer than it does if it's on and ready to go.
The 3G modem is always active and connected to the cell network even when on WiFi. Do "Alt YQQ" or 711 from the settings menu when on WiFi and you'll see it still has a connection to the cell network.
