What command do you use ?

It's not only a JIT, you can preJIT with R2R if you need, or precompile with NativeAOT, or i think you can fully interpret with Mono.

Edit: it looks like the issue with the dotnet cli itself, which until now was not on a 'hot path'. `dotnet help` also take half a second to show up. When running a dll directly, I think it doesn't load the cli app and just run the code necessary to start the dll.
