It's the SecureRandom initialization. You could just force such an initialization at startup so that startup has a bit of a slowdown, but then it runs fast the rest of the time.

I have successfully built a servlet that uses JCE to encrypt data and deployed it under JBoss Tomcat 2.4.1-3.2.2. The very first access is VERY slow as the cryptography classes do some sort of initialisation. I don't know what. Subsequent actions seem very quick. Is this to be expected? Can I speed it up? Can I get this initialisation to take place at start-up before a user accesses the servlet?
