Do.
Play all three, though am only active in Duelmasters at the moment.
Conceptually, I like Hyborean War the best, too.  Really think the
system is well designed and fun to play.  Can get out-of-control large
with some of the biggest kingdoms (like Khitai), but quite rewarding
to play them.  Don't really have the time for one at the moment,
though.

Certainly Duelmasters doesn't take very long to start.
The others take longer because they have to compile a set of unique
start positions together into a game -- if they don't have the right
mix, they can't start.  Probably a design flaw, but there you are.
Standby positions have two advantages, thus -- they're cheaper, and
you can start almost immediately.
