I've been assuming that the classloader work Gianny and I have been

dependencies. Only some of them can be derived from maven
dependencies. This is turning out to be a somewhat slow process.
I finally got the server to run with the one-classloader-per-jar
setup. After struggling with this for a couple of weeks and seeing
the difficultly of correctly configuring classloaders I don't think
we should put this into 2.2. For one thing classloading seems to be
pretty slow: it takes about 55 seconds to start the jetty-jee5 server.
55 seconds to start... that's really bad in comparison to the server
today. The full Tomcat JEE5 assembly on my MBP will start in something
like 20 seconds.. a minimal assembly under 10 seconds. I've been seeing
reports that JBoss 5 is slow and bloated compared to earlier releases...
seems to be the natural evolution of app servers.
Is the performane hit related to the design (classloader per jar) or
something in how the design is implemented?
