yes, I think he is right on topic! If repackaging into large JARs reduces the maintainer's experience of Harmony and doesn't significantly improve the start-up times then we will be doing ourselves a disservice. >> Copying Nathan, I wish we have the solid numbers before making any >> claims. Can you give us a little? Show us the numbers ;-) I can;t help thinking that running less code during start-up will get us further towards our goal, by profiling the start-up sequence and optimizing it (including Aleksey's ideas on caching JAR parsing).
