> Startup time is pretty comparable to Python in my experience.

In my experience a "Hello world" program with `#lang racket/base` (precompiled) takes around 150 ms on my computer whereas Python takes about 50 ms.

> Using the racket/base #lang instead of racket makes a big difference too.

My experience has been: As soon as I use `#lang racket/base` with `(require racket/match)` for pattern matching, the startup times are as when using `#lang racket`.
