Are you using the default theme? There is a bug on this player with fonts over a certain size, and the default theme uses a font which is too big. Try another theme, or just another font, and you may find it reduces boot time by ~6 seconds. (see http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/11168 for details).

Strangely enough I get faster loading times with the default theme rather than photoSkins-vinyl which is what I was using.
Which is a bummer. I'll play around with the font files though, see if I get any improvements.
Also I get an error every time I try and play a song using the newest version, r27303-100706.
Sad to say it but it looks like I'll be going back to 3.6.
EDIT: I just installed 3.6 and tried to play a song which I located through the file-browser and I got the same error!
I also get the error when trying to play the song via the database.
Here's the error I get.

I thought a stable release was meant to be just that, a fully stable release?
Why on earth is it crashing?
EDIT #2: The error numbers change depending on the track I play. However it does it with both mp3 and FLAC files. Just then a mp3 file played for around 5 seconds before crashing while the FLAC files I try crash after ~2 seconds.
AlexP:
This sounds like you have installed the 64MB version (actually labelled by disk size - 60/80 GB) when you have a 32 MB mainboard (labelled 30 GB). If you are using the 60/80 GB version, could you try the 30?
Hero Kid:
Thank you very much! That was indeed the problem! I bought it second hand and the original person who owned it must have bought a crappy refurb that used an 5g logic board.

Just as a note, 32mb vs 64mb is not a question of 5g vs 5.5g. It's a question of 30gb vs 60/80gb. A 30gb 5.5g has 32mb of RAM, just like a 30gb 5g.
Apart from that, this is very common with refurbished ipods. I suspect that the refurbishers only have one pile of logic boards and just mix them all.
