Hi, as you already may know from the TomEE/BVal mailing list, i'm not happy with the startup performance since TomEE8.
TomEE7 OWB startup ~ 4,5seconds TomEE8 OWB startup ~ 9seconds i finally managed to improve the performance on 2 places. 1) Filter framework classes in BVal on PAT Reduces the startup to ~8seconds 2) Cache obervers for systemEvents in NotificationManager#resolveObservers Reduces the starup to ~7 seconds Patch: https://gist.github.com/tandraschko/de4c72c22e65aaefe041af5a15d110e3 Do you think the patch is ok or could it break something? I would be happy if mark or romain could improve it :D Best regards, Thomas
