So why if you use mc often, you need to start it frequently? For me, many 
instances start upon bootup and I rarely ever need to start a new one, as 
I'm constantly switching between the existing ones.

I'd assume this might be related to starting the subshell. Try without 
subshell and see if it starts faster. If that's subshell, then you could 
check if you have anything that slows it down like plugins.
