Does the 0.9 seconds include the startup time of the whole runtime, such as the
initial call to [MacRuby sharedRuntime]? If yes, it sounds acceptable for the
time being.
I have a plan to boost the startup time of the runtime within a Cocoa
environment, by making BridgeSupport files loading faster, and I hope to get
this in in 0.9.

I think it would make sense, indeed. Could you file a ticket on our tracker?
Thanks!
