Have you tried loading a Java GUI app through launching the Java
Virtual Machine? That's pretty slow too. And that's a bytecode compiled
medium. Unfortunately most interpreted programming languages like Perl,
Ruby, Python, etc. are pretty slow loading initial GUI environments.
That's the performance penalty that is offset by the benefits and
efficiency of coding in a very high level language. Less than a second
of load time doesn't seem to be too much of a detraction in my book,
however. If you want pure speed you would need to code in a true
compiled programming language such as C (e.g. - GTK GUI toolkit), C++
(e.g. - Qt GUI toolkit), etc. But what fun is that :-)
