Yeah, like 3 to 6 times longer.

Well if 6x is not significant, surely Clojure's second start time is hardly significant.

I don't want to install Lua or Python just to test how long an Hello World takes, hence my "maybe".

Even if I am wrong, 6x here means 130ms, whereas Clojure time is in the order of seconds.

Big enough to warrant a few entries on their roadmap.
