> When starting Felix up and on my Windows machines I'm seeing a significant 
> slowdown in startup time due to accessing my Windows network adapter in order 
> to read the Mac address as part of SecureRandom which is used to generate a 
> UUID for each Felix instance.By significant slowdown, I'm talking about 1.5 
> seconds, which may go unnoticed in a server startup, but is a week in 
> CLI-startup years. :) Java libs that want to access my network adapter's Mac 
> address are a common nemesis of my startup times, mostly due to Windows 
> sucking from what I can tell. This line here is where things start to go 
> south:
