Python not importing anything is the same speed as php not importing anything on my system. Oh, and--incidentally, javascript is 20% faster than php and python both, and afaik you don't have to import libraries there either.

Yes, so that means Python is slower to start on your system too. Not sure what you mean by "Javascript"... what program are you running?

Javascriptcore; jsc. It's part of webkit (comes from the webkit2gtk package on my system).

Oh I see. Cool.

Now compare with Lua:

  $ python3 -c "import sys, timeit; n = 10; print('%.2f ms/spawn' % (1000 * timeit.timeit('subprocess.call([%r, %r], stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL)' % ('lua', '-'), 'import subprocess', number=n) / n))"
  1.09 ms/spawn

NewLisp:

  $ python3 -c "import sys, timeit; n = 10; print('%.2f ms/spawn' % (1000 * timeit.timeit('subprocess.call([%r, %r], stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL)' % ('newlisp', '-'), 'import subprocess', number=n) / n))"
  1.25 ms/spawn
