It would take good amount of time to gain sufficient rotational velocity(RV) and the application to startup. The time taken to gain sufficient RV is not taken into consideration. Is it possible to run a background process which can periodically make disc accesses so that stepper motor does not go to relaxed state? May be  this would reduce the waiting time.

You might want to consider the effect on longevity of the CD drive and 
also some power considerations, if you want to enable this on your laptop.
