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,

Follow up: Figured it out. Well, ALMOST. (Watch the weasel word.)
First I had to fix up zef. I posted it on another thread, but
I will repost it here too:

I did a full `dnf remove rakudo rakudo-zef`
Then every "zef" entry (~.zif, /root/.zef, etc.) on my hard
drive and erased it.
And, every perl6 directory (opt, lib64, ~.perl6, etc.)
and erased is too.
Then reinstalled rakudo and rakudo-zef.
Now zef is working right.
Apparently, I hade too many different types/version
of installs out there and everything was getting all
mixed up.
And low and behold, "Stage Parse" went
from 13 seconds to 6 seconds:
$ perl6 --stagestats GetUpdates.pl6
Stage start : 0.000
Stage parse : 5.727
Stage syntaxcheck: 0.000
Stage ast : 0.000
Stage optimize : 0.369
Stage mast : 1.210
Stage mbc : 0.021
Stage moar : 0.000
GetUpdates.pl6
Mozilla Mirror <releases.mozilla.org>
Debug is OFF
Still about 5 seconds too slow, but a vast improvement.
Thanks to everyone for all the tips and help!

[18:18] <MasterDuke> ToddAndMargo: stage parse is where the
compiler parses your source code into an AST (abstract syntax
tree) before turning the AST into bytecode. it uses rakudo's
grammar engine, which isn't very optimized yet
