By half a second I obviously didn't mean 0.5 seconds but rather a very short duration that I didn't bother to measure. Edit: Now I bothered to measure. You were saying? ~ time julia -E "1+1" 2 julia -E "1+1" 0,59s user 0,14s system 153% cpu 0,476 total ~ time julia -E "sum(sin.(rand(1000000)))" 459807.21199623536 julia -E "sum(sin.(rand(1000000)))" 1,01s user 0,17s system 125% cpu 0,948 total

Which version of Julia are you using? My main point was that while half a second (~0.5s) is perceptible startup time, ~0.1s is not. Is it a much older system than mine? I have a 2.3GHz Core i5 from about 2017.

  I'm using 1.4 on an Intel i5 4460, so about 3 years older but not a laptop cpu. I don't even think 0.5 seconds are that noticeable...

    “3 years older but not a laptop cpu” might mean “spinning disk”, rather than SSD, too.

      Nope, everything is on a new SSD.
