Julia 1.6: what has changed since Julia 1.0?

It takes 180s to import Statistics, PlutoUI, Images and OffsetArrays in Pluto on this Macbook Pro with 32GB that is a couple of years old, while the fans are going crazy. If I'm unlucky a worker process will seg fault. All in all the interactive / REPL part (even with stuff like Revise) is kind of a let down thanks to the slow precompilation / lack of caching? I like it, but I really don't see how it is ever going to replace Matlab, R or Python if these issues aren't addressed.

I assume that's including precompilation, otherwise something is seriously wrong with your computer. Precompilation can take a while, but it's cached between sessions, so it should be much faster the second time.

Also, in version 1.6, we have multithreaded precompilation which happens at installation time instead of when you first try to load the package. This makes it much faster.

Just checked. On my slightly dated laptop the import of these packages in Pluto takes 5 seconds with Julia 1.6. In general 1.6 is a huge improvements in compilation times and usability for me.

What does "32GB" have to do with it? Why would a worker process segfault in this scenario?
