It's quite possible that when you start that program, you're first waiting for GTK::Simple to be precompiled; the "use lib 'lib'" can interfere with the storage of precompilation results. If you have installed GTK::Simple (for example by going to its folder and running "zef install .") and removed the line "use lib 'lib';", it might start a lot faster when you run it the second time.
Hope that helps! - Timo On 22/04/2019 03:32, ToddAndMargo via perl6-users wrote: > Hi All, > > One liners are fast, but my own programs are very slow to start. > > I download > > https://github.com/perl6/gtk-simple/blob/master/examples/05-bars.pl6 > > To check it out and it also takes ten second to start. > > What gives? > > Many thanks, > -T
