The very first compile in the REPL is a bit slow since stuff is loaded or things like that.
We should change the status message to reflect that so that people don't assume it's always that slow.

Could be an idea though there're several things happening (downloading and parsing JS bundle, downloading and decoding assemblies, etc) and I'm not sure if there's a hook to when _actual_ compilation starts.
We could also add a mention about that in the new README. I hope that users would notice by themselves that compilation after the first one are faster too.
@alfonsogarciacaro We're already timing only the actual compilation, any difference between times is due to javascript jitting. What I think @forki is referring to is the long wait on initial load and very first compile.
As there is nothing we can do about that (those things still need to happen), we can either:
Now REPL says "Loading" on firs compilation :)
