🧰 Task

In the various install/getting started docs we should warn the user that the first-run time is slow (>30 s for me) but that subsequent starts are markedly faster.
A user could think something went wrong with the install and cancel or restart terminal.

(This was feedback from the LatAm workshop on Aug. 7, 2023)

Is this just on mac or everywhere? On my linux laptop, a new env with freshly installed napari took at most 5 secs to launch the first time, and about the same to launch the second time.

Installation guide: Mention slow first launch time (#253)
0b657a7 
# References and relevant issues
Closes #222

# Description
This PR adds a `Note` that first launch may be slow on some platforms
(macOS, Windows) and that anti-malware and security software may also
result in slower launches.
It's quite disconcerting when running `napari` doesn't visually do
anything immediately!
