Comment(by dimpase):

 Replying to [comment:63 vbraun]:
 > During the libgGAP initialization you can pass any command line
 arguments to GAP, so we can easily load a workspace. Note that Gap
 initialization happens the first time you use libGAP, so it does not add
 to the Sage startup time.

 OK, but it does add to libGAP startup time.

 >
 > Its true that one could recreate the `GapElement`s from a saved/loaded
 workspace (though you lose the Python variable names), but it still
 doesn't seem to be the most pressing issue right now.

 I certainly agree with this.
