It's not so much the startup time (which is ~60ms), but warmup time. Assuming you're using a JITting JVM, it's compiling. There's now work on AOT compilation in HotSpot (and some JVMs already have it), but it really doesn't matter for big, long-running server apps, which are currently HotSpot's forté.
