Java is slow to start because every app you launch launches it's own virtual machine. Basically it's like launching your operating system everytime you launch an application.

If you have a VM running an just instantiate a few classes that represent a new program then it's instantaneous. Just try something like JOS. I guess the OS itself should offer a better java integration.
