Would it make sense to do a large number of iterations (in the millions) of the basic "Hello, World\n" print statement in all the languages to amortize the cost of the BEAM/JVM setup/initialization system calls out?

Isn't it the case that in Java and Erlang we have a large VM environment that also needs to be launched before the first line of the trivial print statement is executed?
