Yeah, I've got a few things on my shit-list.

ClassLoading takes a long time. One of the things that is challenging is
telling the difference between time the JVM was going to take anyway,
and time taken because of the burden of the way we implemented things.

Pango has some speed issues too. I know that the underlying native
library has been in need of some performance love for a long time, but
it's entirely possible we're using Layout sub-optimally.

A bigger concern is memory pressure resulting from long-delayed
finalization, as we discussed in January. People will need to form their
own opinions about that.

Those are my concerns from before!
