I think this is the case:

time java -cp debian/libclojure-java/usr/share/java/clojure-1.10.0.jar clojure.main -e ''

real	0m4.409s
user	0m14.051s
sys	0m0.366s
dh_strip_nondeterminism
time java -cp debian/libclojure-java/usr/share/java/clojure-1.10.0.jar clojure.main -e ''

real	0m13.885s
user	0m33.468s
sys	0m0.704s


I'm gonna guess, based on my earlier testing, that other 4s of startup
time can be accounted for by the fact that spec and core.specs are built
with stripped nondeterminism. Let me try turning that off in a -2
release and see if that solves the other ~3s of slowness.

cc'd, because this seems to be back, and I'm not sure if we should
reopen the bug or do something else here.
