Do you have Steam pre-cache shaders before the game opens? You can turn that off in the settings and have it compile them in the background while you play. Depending on the game, this can dramatically speed up starting time.

However, given the nature of Factorio's graphics, I'm not sure how much of a difference it'd make.
