w.r.t to image size, ScriptL takes care of that since everything is in the same image. You could also use something like buildapp or cl-launch to make a multi-call binary that you compile your scripts into. I think I recall roswell allowing multiple entry points too, but I never could get it to work. Possibly PEBKAC on my end.
One option is to use ScriptL. Then you have a server running that executes your scripts, and you get some interactivity if desired. Aside from that, the time it takes (on my machine) for the stumpwm executable to start, realize there is another window manager running, and shutdown is all of about 36 milliseconds, so how convenient bringing up a whole image is may vary with your hardware.
It’s negligible, unless you’re after a high-performance startup app, in which case you’re probably better off with a different solution altogether. https://github.com/LispCookbook/cl-cookbook/issues/262
