How to improve Script start speed?

[A. Sundararajan]

Hi,

You may want to try jdk8u20. 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u20-relnotes-2257729.html

It has changes to improve CompiledScript. Also, you may want to try out 
8u40 early access build @ https://jdk8.java.net/download.html

Thanks,
-Sundar
