Re: [julia-users] Why is Gadfly so slow when plotting it's first plot?

Thanks for the info. I suspected it might have something to do with JIT 
compilation.

 There is a work-in-progress caching process you could try. See:
 https://github.com/dcjones/Gadfly.jl/issues/251#issuecomment-38626716

 and:
 http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/devdocs/sysimg/

 The PR to make that simpler and module-specific is here:

 Hi,
 I use Gadfly to create simple barplots   save them as SVG. Since this is 
 for usage in a web page, I've only installed Gadfly, not extra backends. 
 Now when doing the first plot it is incredibly slow but much better on 
 subsequent plots. Why is that? Is there anything that can be done to speed 
 things up?
