Hi, I noticed that Tomcat startup time nearly tripled between versions 5.5.15 and 5.5.16 and doubled when 6.0.18 is compared to 5.5.15.
My setup: server.xml contains 11 <Host> definitions with 4 <Alias> definitions on average per <Host>. I have only one context.xml in conf/Catalina/somehost.com (to reduce startup time during development). It is possible to reduce startup time for 5.5.16 and 6.0.18 when I take out currently unused <Host> definitions, but this is cumbersome during development and testing. Does someone know what is causing this problem? Is there a way to get better startup times without removing <Host> or <Alias> definitions? Regards, Alf
