Are you sure it "was never a design objective"? Clearly the objective was never achieved, but since Java was initially aimed at set-top boxes, tablet-like devices and web browser applets (all interactive client-side applications) it would be strange to design it exclusively for server-side batch processing.

~100 milliseconds startup is good enough for those applications. ~10ms startup is not specified as one if its design goals https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/intro-141325.html https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/intro-141325.html edit: and as I mentioned above, the HotSpot VM is specifically, explicitly optimized for long running applications.
