There must be some problem. I have just tested with a memory card with some 700 files in numerous directories.
My unit only boots once.
Some 12 seconds to the library, regardless of presence or the card. Even when the last opened file was on the card.

I have:
1. Already more than a 100 files in various directories on the device.
2. I have inserted a card with 700 files in various directories. There is only one directory and one file at the root of the card.
3. I have opened a file from the card
4. I closed the file and went to the main menu.
5. I have switched off the device.
6. I press the on button. The device boots in some 11 seconds after releasing the on button (that I kept pressed for less than two seconds). VERY IMPRESSIVE.
7. the device boots into main menu.
8. I press button down, button up, I go to the library, everything works immediately.

Second test.
Points 1-7 are identical,
8. I press up twice to get to the last read book (no delay here)
9. I press OK to open the book. There is a delay, but it seems to be the same as when I open a file from memory.

Try formatting the card
Try different card
Try deleting cache and similar files from /system folder on the device. Be careful, make a backup first in case you delete something important.
Try flashing the newest firmware (this is what I have, plus FBReader compiled by SciFiFan)

I use 1GB ordinary, cheap, relatively old MicroSD card.
