Jython's startup is just slower with 2.5 in general:

11:00:56$ time java -jar ~/jython2.2.1/jython.jar -c "print"


real	0m0.881s
user	0m1.061s
sys	0m0.157s
11:01:01$ time java -jar ~/jython2.5b1/jython.jar -c "print"


real	0m2.597s
user	0m3.278s
sys	0m0.337s

We haven't done much optimization in 2.5 yet, so there are probably some  
easy things to pick up to get it back closer to its old speed.  That 
should happen before 2.5 final comes out.
