Hi David,
Yes, the 21 seconds includes the interpreter startup time. I have done a
simple test to see how long it takes:
$ time racket -e '(displayln "Hello, world")'
Hello, world
real 0m0.479s
user 0m0.449s
sys 0m0.030s
I have also put my code inside a main function and profiled it:

Total cpu time observed: 20910ms (out of 20970ms)
Number of samples taken: 382 (once every 55ms)
