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.
