My use case is to run a julia script and exit in under 2 seconds.  
My experiments with a fairly simple script[1] is that it takes between 1.5 and 3 seconds.  
Is there any way to use any pre-compilation to make this runtimes more consistent?

[1] It just reads a 19K JSON file and writes out a one line file.
