Hi guys

I'm using spoj with Scala, around a week now, to learn the language (Scala). But theres a problem with the language. On problems with short time limit (1 second) there is always a TLE status code. After searching a while in this forum i found the following thread:
https://www.spoj.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=6177&p=14917&hilit=scala#p149173
Here's explained, that the scala interpreter takes around 1.5 seconds to start. Through this, some problems are simple unsolvable with scala.
I was thinking, that this should be the same way with Java, since the two runtime environments are equal, but there is no problem, the interpreter doesn't take too long to start
I think thats a bug, the interpreters start time shouldn't be mesured, because thats not part of the programs runtim itself, or is there a special reason for this behavior?

Hi guys again

I think there are very less Scala programmers in spoj community, but I'd love to get a statement, if this is a wanted behaviour or a bug... And if it's a bug, if it hopefully get's fixed soon

Let us know if something happens in this direction;)
