Hmmm. Version 0.3.2 will start up faster than 0.3.0, but neither should be
taking THAT long, I don't think. What does the following say for you:
*julia> filter( x -> contains(x, "sys.dylib"), Sys.dllist())*
*1-element Array{String,1}:*
* "/usr/local/Cellar/julia/0.3.2/lib/julia/sys.dylib"*
If you don't have a sys.dylib, that would impact startup time
significantly. The string returned above is normal for a from-homebrew
installation of Julia, but what I'm looking for is a string returned at all.
