Sure TPU is slower starting up, because it loads the entire file into
virtual memory.  Once it's loaded, TPU is faster than EDT by an order of
magnitude.

TPU has real advantages over EDT.  TPU's language and its customization
features are God's gift to wizards.  For novices, there's an EDT compatible
mode that appears to be faster than real EDT.
