Well, the situation is next:
Just after Mac wakes up, it takes about 2-3 secongs to wakeup hardware. Then about 2-3 seconds to establish connection to AirPort.
Then, when you are using bridged networking, there is really some delay from Parallels side to wakeup networking. And we really could improve our product and eliminate this (times to wakeup hardware and connect WiFi cannot be improved). Btw, shared networking doesn't have it, so if you need 5 seconds faster networking startup in VM, you could use Shared Networking.
Thank you for the report (although I cann't guarantee any milestone when this behaviour will be changed).
