Better title would be: 'less slowest starting Clojure REPL of three' Mentioning 'fastest' at a time of 3GHZ multicore machines with SSD and a duration of 0.1

Better title would be: 'less slowest starting Clojure REPL of three' Mentioning 'fastest' at a time of 3GHZ multicore machines with SSD and a duration of 0.1 seconds is just absurd. That's >100 million instructions just to start a language prompt and evaluating a symbol to itself. The Java version is even more absurd with around 1 billion instructions just to get a REPL... A shell on a 1 MIPS DEC VAX 11/780 started faster, while the machine had a hundred users.
