I use ant as a build tool for java programs.  I get really frustrated by its
startup time and wish it was a native program.  Right now I'm running it
from a special shell that only loads it once, but this is really a hack.

Only loading the compiler code once is only one small reason for using ant,
the main reason I use it is for its java dependency generation.  And it can
use jikes instead of the normal compiler, which means it wouldn't be any
slower under native code.

Ok, this is what I wanted to hear...  

Thanks.
