There isn't enough information here to really recommend a fix. But here are some general thoughts:
* If you're wondering whether there's a magic --fast-mode flag to make this problem go away, no, there is not. * Can you make this a whole lot faster? Probably, yes, but it will involve a lot of work. It would involve profiling where the startup time is being spent, picking appropriate GC and runtime parameters that prefer startup time over other considerations, etc. * Is this an architectural smell? Absolutely. Executing any external binary "a great many times" is always going to be inefficient compared to letting the binary stay resident in memory. If performance is a concern you need to understand what the constraints are and design something that specifically addresses that.
