Hi all,  
I am using Julia v1.9.0-rc1 and I noticed that there is **a short delay** for the first action when  
start Julia (for example in REPL), delayed about 2 seconds.  
Is this normal?  
I install Julia through Juliaup and I am in a Linux Mint system.  
Thank you!

What’s your first action? Just something like `2+2` should return pretty much instantaneously, but in general you might of course hit some compilation on whatever it is you’re doing.

The first action I mean only begin to type, for example, I try to type ‘2’ and there is a delay to show the number 2.

Do you have anything in you startup.jl file? That is loaded on start and could require some compilation.

Yes, I have OhMyREPL. I think this is the reason.  
Thank you!
