Would it be unsafe to disable such behavior? I frequently have breaker trip on line main PC is on (which "hot" Armory is on), resulting in a rather high frequency of rescans.

Probably safe. It was in my plans for 0.91 to investigate that. It was done out extreme caution, because of risks associated with incomplete transaction histories (when the history is close enough to correct that it looks correct, but it's actually not correct).

However, I suspect it can be done.

Hello.

I've switched to Armory few days ago and I love all the features and the looks. But it's kind of annoying how long it takes to get it up and running.

I'm using Asus i7 laptop with 6GB RAM and Ubuntu, and when I open up Armory it takes a long while. The 'Sync with Network' part takes few minutes, but 'Bulidng Databases' goes on for aeons. I needed to do one little transaction this morning, but it took it more than an hour to get fully loaded, but then I had to leave home and turn laptop off, so my transaction still isn't made. It's really annoying.

Is it working as it should be?

Or maybe I should use feature-rich Armory as my main BTC stash, and then use something like Multibit with 0.1-0.05 BTC on it for day-to-day transactions?

The latest version of Armory will rescan the blockchain if there's an unclean shutdown. You can avoid having to do all the rescanning if you make sure to close it with the "X" in the corner, or "File"->Quit before turning off the laptop.
