Thanks; it's very helpful to see some hard numbers. That's quite good--I expected it to be much higher. I don't suppose it introduces any noticeable startup delay, does it?
No. Although Scala does introduce many more temporary objects so you might want to be careful with allocations and the types e.g. undiscriminated use of tuples. This may not be an issue depending on your performance needs.

Indeed. This is nowhere as bad as I had expected. Still don't like the language, but good to see that the "needs a carry-on bag to travel" argument is a non-issue.
