Also, seems unlikely to be the source of the crash reported in discourse, but do be careful about crashes in versions older than 1.4.2 (see the Julia PR linked from...

Very interesting! Just to throw out yet another possibility: writing them by hand (which is what I usually do). I know that sounds like a lot of work, but I...

@mkborregaard, my machine is slower than yours (or we started from different foundations, I started from an empty package repository), but for comparison: Julia 1.5: 160s Julia 1.6 (recent src...

It's not so crazy, look at how many packages it precompiled to just to precompile StatsPlots: ``` tim@diva:/tmp/pkgs/compiled/v1.6$ ls AbstractFFTs ColorSchemes Distributions FreeType2_jll JSON MultivariateStats OpenSSL_jll QuadGK Showoff TableOperations Adapt...
