How the hell is your Ruby that slow to start?

    $ time ruby -e "puts 'hello world'"
    hello world
    
    real    0m0.011s
    user    0m0.008s
    sys     0m0.003s

The first time I ran:

   time ruby -e "puts 'hello world'"
   hello world

   real	0m0.221s
   user	0m0.005s
   sys	0m0.006s

subsequent times:

   time ruby -e "puts 'hello world'"
   hello world

   real	0m0.008s
   user	0m0.005s
   sys	0m0.003s

So, I guess he ran ruby first followed by topaz and ended up with those results
