Some more weird statistics on startup times.
Windows Me on Celeron 500Mhz with 256Mb RAM:
Start 3 sec, restart 2 sec.
Windows XP on Athlon XP 1700+ with 512Mb RAM:
Start 5 sec, restart 4 sec.
Same machine (not similar but literally the same,
this is multiboot machine with several OS'es)
but with Windows Me:
Start and restart more than 20 sec. Restart
may be even timed out.
Windows 98SE and Windows XP on Pentium III 733MHz
with 384Mb RAM:
Start and restart times 2-5 seconds. Win 98 a bit
slower.
Notice that on _all_ machines and OS'es maxima.bat
starts almost instantly. I
