Yes, just to confirm:
Starting without snapshot, especially in Debug mode, has become much
slower, because more work is being done there (mostly compilation of
builtins and bytecode handlers).
This is working as intended. I.e. it's not considered a bug/problem, will
not be improved over time, in
Got some info on IRC -- apparently there is now a "code stub assembler"
that does a bunch of work on startup.
I stopped the program a few times during startup and it was confirmed,
looking at the stack traces, that that was in fact what was going on.
Moral of this story: use snapshots.
On
I just rebuilt with snapshots and verified that it is still "fast" to
startup on my code.
So my question is, what changed to make the much more convenient and
previously acceptable startup speed of the no-snapshot builds so much
slower? like.. almost 10x slower.
