Have now shaved more than half the startup time relative to 2.9.0. Here we are oscillating between it and r25007.

Oh, it's even more pronounced if I don't flip to 32bit. And here I thought I was rigging it in my favor.

Nice! Will this be part of the next bug-fix update or will it wait for
the subsequent one?

Best,
Ismael

Oh, I didn't realize I'd exposed that. It doesn't mean anything. I
have a zillion aliases for scala versions, and scala29 was my latest
tested build of 29 until 2.9.0 came out. Now I need a new alias for my
latest build, and scala210 is annoying in terms of finger mechanics,
file completion, lexical ordering, etc. whereas scala3 isn't.
