Anyway, GCJ-compiled native binary took much time to start up.
Can it be improved somehow?

My understanding is that most of this is due to shared library loading and resolution of symbols. A lot of this is because reflective data structures containing lots of pointers. The hope is that the compiler will generate a compressed mostly-pointer-free representation, which can be expanded lazily at run-time when needed.

However, I don't believe we have a concrete design or timeline
for this.
