I don´t know about your paper, but on my single-core Atom netbook with 1.6 Ghz CPU and 2 Gigs of RAM running WinXP SP3 and JRE 7.0, starting Jython takes a whopping 10-20 seconds... even more the first time I think. But I admit that might be more an issue with Jython than the JVM... Plus, if start-up time of small apps wasn´t an issue Nailgun wouldn´t even be needed. :) FC -- "The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers."
