It's not so much cups start up being slow as discovering network

That can take up to a minute I think.
This is true... however, discovered printers are cached so this is only
an issue the first time CUPS starts after installation (or after
connection to a new network).
Additionally there are plans afoot to use Avahi for CUPS <-> CUPS
printer discovery, replacing the current "send a broadcast packet every
30s" protocol. This would eliminate the problem entirely.
