While it would be nice to get hobbit working, it doesn't address all the problems. For example, if you want to do something computationally intensive on startup and then dump, unexec will pop it back into memory immediately; but hobbit will do it a little faster than guile would --- maybe reducing the fifteen minutes to ten (I'm serious). A specific example of this is the lang parsing code, where it does indeed take something like this long (on my machine). In fact, hobbit wouldn't help much at all here, since a large part of the time is spent initializing the regexp (the giant DFA) which is written in C. Andrew
