Hi Michael,

Thanks for the comments, though, I want to point out that I'm using
cake to run the program which keeps an instance of the JVM spun up at
all times. That should remove the startup time, unless I am
misunderstanding how cake works. Also, the startup time should be
constant (say a few seconds or so) so that wouldn't account for why
the program becomes "exponentially" slower when I increase the amount
of text that is processes.
