First Run for a Jupyter Notebook File Is Taking Too Much Time

[aritraroy24]

System Configuration

Processor- i7-12700K
RAM- 32GB DDR5
GPU- None
Parallelization Enabled via CPU/GPU- No

Problem:

• While I'm running a Jupyter Notebook for the first time each code block is taking too much time. See the following screenshot-
  

• Rrunning the same code second time or more is taking fraction of a second-
  

• Even changing the equation also took just a fraction of a second-
  

Question:

Am I only facing the problem? or, is it common to take some time to fetch the package and run for the first time?

Hey @aritraroy24, what is your Julia version?

[Leticia-maria]

This is common for a variety of reasons. Compiled languages have what is called "warm up" run or "time to first X" (TTFX). Julia is a compiled language and, before version 1.9, the TTFX was a problem, but they solved that in the version 1.9. I suggest you to update your kernel and install Julia 1.9. (But yes, this is normal if you are using a previous Julia version)

@Leticia-maria , Sorry to mention the most important thing. I have Julia version 1.9.1
