Hi Jérémie, What Groovy/JDK/container versions are you using? If you are using Groovy 4.0.x, the fixes in 4.0.26 may help.
There is an open OSGi issue with performance in the title, but I'll likely close that and create a fresh issue in the next day or two to better document the remaining gap. Recent issues: GROOVY-11570: Groovy 4/5 not working in OSGi container (closed, FragmentHost fix included on 4.0.26, not applicable to 3.0.x, seems to help with performance but has functionality issues in some environments at least) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11570 GROOVY-11571: Performance problem in Eclipse RCP/OSGi/Equinox environment (open but maybe fix from GROOVY-11570 is enough for this issue) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11571 Paul.
