Well, I have to admit, my previous posting wasn't that clear, and I did a
little bit more investigation in the meantime.

Per startup time itself is quite fast (the same tests as Robert):

    gert@greenie:/u/gert$ time perl </dev/null

    real    0m0.59s
    user    0m0.03s
    sys     0m0.10s
    gert@greenie:/u/gert$ time perl </dev/null

    real    0m0.07s
    user    0m0.02s
    sys     0m0.03s

but what *is* really slow is the startup time if I "use Tk". Maybe it's
related to my statically linking everything, maybe it's Tk itself. Does
anybody else experience slow TkPerl startup time as well?

(Sorry for the unprecise statement in my last posting)
