On Windows, the GKS QtTerm takes a few seconds longer to load for some reason. If you need a quick plot on Windows, try `ENV["GKSwstype"] = 41`. I got it down to 0.854989 seconds there.

```julia
julia> ENV["GKSwstype"] = 41
41

julia> @time begin
                  @time using GR
                  x = [0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0]
                  y = [0.3, 0.5, 0.4, 0.2, 0.6, 0.7]
                  @time GR.polyline(x,y)
                  @time GR.axes(0.2, 0.2, 0, 0, 1, 1, -0.01)
                  @time GR.updatews()
              end
  0.736812 seconds (358.68 k allocations: 24.924 MiB, 0.44% compilation time)

Also thank you @jheinen for indulging me for the last few hours. I’m really excited where this is heading.
