That seems absurdly long; I don't know why it would be taking that long.
My Mac can run a one-line Scala script in just 2 or 3 seconds:

~> cat foo.scala
println(5)
~> time scala foo.scala
5
rlwrap scala -Xnojline foo.scala 0.26s user 0.07s system 11% cpu 2.868 total
~> time scala -nocompdaemon foo.scala
5
rlwrap scala -Xnojline -nocompdaemon foo.scala 1.68s user 0.15s system 96% cpu 1.903 total

It's peculiar that it's faster with -nocompdaemon; I don't know what the
story is there.

Have you tried using -savecompiled? That will save you time on
consecutive runs, at least.
