And this is with a warm cache. There's no reason it should take anything near that long; perl 5 executes an equivalent script as follows: perl foo.pl 0.00s user 0.00s system 74% cpu 0.005 total I understand that rakudo is not yet feature complete, and that completing functionality is probably higher priority than speed, so I filed the bug as wishlist. I do expect that at some point it will be faster to start than java, though. :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages rakudo depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libparrot-dev 1.6.0-1 Parrot shared library development ii libreadline6 6.1-1 GNU readline and history libraries ii parrot 1.6.0-1 A virtual machine for dynamic lang ii parrot-devel 1.6.0-1 Parrot development tools rakudo recommends no packages. rakudo suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
