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)." - http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2010-February/000580.html -- Glen Gray <[email protected]>
