Such as the interpreter taking longer to start than the OS

"(clear example: we used to have a bootchart rendered in java in moblin: just 
enabling the render program at boot would suck in the entire java engine into 
the IO load at boot time - costing us seconds of boot time and lots of memory. 
We then found a python implementation, but that one turned out to have pretty 
much the same cost w/r memory and IO footprint. Now we have a C-implementation 
I ended up writing, which is incredibly cheap compared to the other two 
alternatives)."
