Actually it probably would be faster with a faster HDD. On my XP machine, it took 45 seconds when I first opened calibre after a reboot. When I built my Win 7 machine with an SSD, it takes only two or three seconds to open the first time after a reboot.

My Win 7 notebook came with a HDD. It also needed 45 seconds to open calibre the first time after a reboot. I replaced the spinner. with a SSHD (hybrid drive) and calibre now opens in two or three seconds.
