That's not really needed. Startup time is almost nothing with file sizes bigger then some MB. And below that, you don't get reasonable timings.
I should have said that I use cygwin during the daytime, which has a more significant startup time. Point taken anyway.
For the 100MB file I've seen today's improvements drop from 8.3s user time to 3.0s (plus a constant .49s system time, 0.40s of which is to load the file); a very significant improvement. Thanks! (And hopefully you had some fun from it too!)
'think it's going to be much harder to get any significant increases now from the VM.
I'll see about some improvements over the weekend, particularly to reduce the memory consumption (who'd have thought that we'd be crunching 100MB files in about 3s!) ...
Cheers,
Nick
