FWIW, it's a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM @ 2GHz on Mac OS X 10.5.6 running Ubuntu Server 9.04 in Sun VirtualBox.
I'm virtualising because production will be an Ubuntu VM and I prefer to work with VMs for dev. IIRC the CPU isn't working hard inside or outside of the VM when it takes a long time to load. Running mvn jetty:run often takes a few seconds but once time in ten it's out for a few minutes. As I'm working from the standard generated project layout I imagine there's nothing extra to needs that I can disable? I'll report back when it happens next. (it's exciting to be working with such a great framework having the BDFL replying personally -- thank you!)
