Repl is slow to boot #86

Closed hjek closed 6 years ago

The repl takes quite a while to boot up. I know it said "takes ~4s to start", but it's more like 80 seconds on my modest laptop. A lot slower than Arc 3.1.

That sucks, yes definitely worth improving.

One obvious thing I can think of is that we load a lot more code. There is a lot more code, and we load it up front unlike Arc 3.1 which has a more on-demand attitude toward a lot of it.
