jenkins execs the readlink program every time a symlink is followed, which is probably the cause for the massive delays
You are speculating, or you measured this (minimally with a series of thread dumps)?
upgrading to Java7, which can follow readlinks via the nio.* classes
This is what I would recommend. Not sure what IBM’s support policy is, but Oracle has dropped unpaid support for JDK 6.
I'm not sure, however, whether Jenkins would use the nio.* methods instead of readlink here
It should; if it does not, please investigate ASAP.
