Its because of springboard. Every time you turn your ipod/iphone on, spring "regenerates the application map". This means it makes the springboard icons, and creates the paths to the applications. Depending on the amount of apps you have, this takes time. Also, theres a program called watchdogbundle which monitors this "regeneration" and when it takes two minutes, it shuts it off and makes it start again, which in turn causes you to be stuck at boot logo. but thats a WHOOOOOLLLLEEE nother thing.

Thank if i helped please.
