We put cfls in our new house, and I'm quite happy with them. They light right away, and if there is any "warm-up" period, it's so subtle that I can't see it. I also don't see any difference in the light produced vs. an incandescent. If there is, again, it's so minimal that I can't see it.
As for the mercury issue, hell, I can remember my brother and I breaking mercury thermometers as kids and pushing the little beads around the kitchen table. Didn't hurt us none. /twitch/
