Am I missing something here?

I just did this, and the timing between the first and second run was barely noticeable -- in fact, the first run was slightly quicker:

> echo $'#!/bin/sh\necho Hello' > /tmp/test.sh && chmod a+x /tmp/test.sh time /tmp/test.sh && time /tmp/test.sh

> Hello

> /tmp/test.sh 0.00s user 0.00s system 55% cpu 0.006 total

> Hello

> /tmp/test.sh 0.00s user 0.00s system 41% cpu 0.010 total

This is on macOS 10.15.4.
