Things I've done to speed it up:

Switched from the stock launcher to LauncherPro (others work just as well but Zeam apparently is compatible :s ).
Deleted all items on the stock launcher desktop (new launcher runs in front of it so it has to load up any items on the stock one as well).
Go to Settings/About Device/ Power Management/Power Management Mode - and switch it to Overdrive (consumes a little more battery but improves performace, haven't noticed battery drain that much)
Keep any apps you want to load quicker on the system storage and not in internal storage

I better explain this one as it confused me. When you install an app it goes to system storage, but system sotrage is quite small (2gb or less I think). If you go into application management you can transfer each app (some don't allow it) to internal storage (the rest of your built in memory), however if you do this they take longer to load up when you start the device.

Despite their titles I haven't actually found an app to transfer apps to an SD card yet, they just transfer them to internal storage (sometimes called the internal SD card), rather than any external SD card you have. (I purchased myself a 32gb one to store movies on! ).
