I've alleviated my slow startup somewhat by

     diff --git a/make.lisp b/make.lisp
     index 41d4e3d..52b05b6 100644
     --- a/make.lisp
     +++ b/make.lisp

      (asdf:make-build "app"

                       :type :static-library
     -                 :prologue-code '(require :ecl-quicklisp)
     +                 :prologue-code '(progn (require :sb-bsd-sockets)

                       :init-name "init_lib_APP__ALL_SYSTEMS")

At least now I only have the slow startup time of ASDF which is 
currently acceptable for my app.  At least it doesn't install Quicklisp 
on the first run anymore ;-)

I found this post (of yours?): 
https://www.reddit.com/r/Common_Lisp/comments/hicmyt/error_with_uiop_running_ecl_application_built_by/g35fcib/

Is this what you meant?  Where do you use this code?

Bye,
