If you load the libraries that you need and save your image, then Factor will load pretty fast.
If you want it to load faster, make a smaller image. You can bootstrap a smaller image by omitting the UI, tools, and docs, for example: ./factor -i=boot.x86.32.image -output-image=smaller.image -include="math threads compiler io unicode" You could also omit io, threads or unicode, depending on the nature of the scripting involved. Running factor with a file on the command line runs it then exits when its done, and arguments supplied after the file name can be accessed by reading the command-line variable: ./factor my-script.factor arg1 arg2 ... You can combine this with a custom image: ./factor -i=smaller.image my-script.factor ...
