To reproduce:
Click on play.
splash screen displays mojang logo then hangs
Development console shows no updates after:
Client> [09:03:21] [Client thread/INFO]: LWJGL Version: 2.9.0
Client> [09:03:22] [Client thread/INFO]: Reloading ResourceManager: Default
Client>
Client> Starting up SoundSystem...
Client> Initializing LWJGL OpenAL
Client> (The LWJGL binding of OpenAL. For more information, see http://www.lwjgl.org)
Client> OpenAL initialized.
Client>
Once it finally loads it shows:
Client> [09:04:43] [Client thread/INFO]: Created: 512x256 textures/blocks-atlas
Client> [09:04:44] [Client thread/INFO]: Created: 256x256 textures/items-atlas
TAKE NOTE OF TIME TAKEN!
Clicking on splash screen before it's done loading shows the status "Not responding" in the title bar. and white out the logo that's displayed.
Clicking Exit after above crashes the game

I wondered about that too, since I've used rei minimaps in past version 1.6.2, but this problem hasn't shown up at all in any of the other snapshots to my knowledge or just doesnt hang, I'll see if those load in the other snapshots and version. 1.6.4
When I saw it, I thought perhaps mojang added higher resolution textures themselves.
Verified that this is something mojang has added.
Totally deleted .minecraft folder
downloaded latest version (1.6.4)
downloaded 13w41b
run it to get:
Client> [23:15:15] [Client thread/INFO]: Created: 512x256 textures/blocks-atlas
Client> [23:15:16] [Client thread/INFO]: Created: 256x256 textures/items-atlas
after going to Resource Packs:
Client> [23:15:27] [Client thread/INFO]: Reloading ResourceManager: Default
Client> [23:15:28] [Client thread/INFO]: Created: 512x256 textures/blocks-atlas
Client> [23:15:29] [Client thread/INFO]: Created: 256x256 textures/items-atlas
OPINION ONLY

In game - looks ok even though there is nothing noticeable textural wise. and runs fine.
and because there's nothing noticeable,\, perhaps defaults should be the standard 32 x 32 or whatever they are. and make the higher resolutions as optional. Other people seem to be having the same problem. We all don't have 1.21 gigawatts to play around with.
I should also note that going to the resource packs and reloading defaults does NOT take 1 minute and in fact seems very quick to reload
( in other words, loading the textures may not be the problem )
Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 13w48b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
To me it looks like that you have a Resource pack loading with very high resolution textures, maybe rename the resource file (so it does not load it) and see if it was the problem.
