Not just String.class, every single class referenced by a given namespace will be loaded, and most of them instantiated before a single line of my code runs. It's why: $ time ant ... (no ant file, it just fails) real 0m0.155s $ time clj -e '(System/exit 0)' real 0m0.960s is so drastically different. Compiling this: (ns foo (:gen-class)) (defn -main []) and running $ time java -cp classes:clojure.jar foo real 0m0.749s still loads and instantiates every single function defined in core.clj.
