Can we expect any improvement in startup time so that it becomes a little bit more suitable for command line tools?

Java 9. Project Jigsaw. Here's a blog from 2008 that discusses it.

Hmm I've found the latest versions to already start up very fast. What are you comparing against currently? I use command line tools written in Java all the time and don't really notice it.
