Is it just me or does Perl 6 take about three times as long to

Seven seconds? Seven? That seems *very* long indeed.
How long does it take to do:
perl6 -e ‘’
$ date; p6 ''; date
Mon Aug 6 00:51:10 PDT 2018
Mon Aug 6 00:51:10 PDT 2018
$ date; p6 'say "Why is this taking so long"'; date

Why is this taking so long

? That should be in the order of 130 msecs. If that’s the case, then you’re
probably doing a lot of grammar changes to Perl 6. But without the actual
code, this remains guessing.
What is a "gammer change" and how do I minimize them?
Any workaround for this, or is this just growing pains for Perl 6?
Not sure :-)
