testimony i've heard from a friend at the labs is that the startup time is
painful.  we speculated at the time that it was due to the way the environment
is treated on plan9 combined with the use of rcmain.  as i remember, on the
gnots, startup time was >1sec, reliably.  (this is all hearsay, folks, so
take it with a grain of salt.)
