Here are some interesting statistics. Running ./perl6 and then doing nothing creates a process with a VSIZE of 93MB. Doing the same with perl5 creates a process with a VSIZE of 3.4MB.
Second wow:
$ time ./perl6 < /dev/null real 0m2.509s user 0m2.000s sys 0m0.212s $ time perl < /dev/null real 0m0.004s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s
What is perl6 doing on startup that uses 2 seconds of user CPU time?
