Probably quite a lot because it scans the whole classpath but nothing
weird as our applications are "just" Spring-*/Hibernate-*/Wicket
applications.

The scan in Tomcat isn't really optimized in terms of IO (a lot of
random IO throughout all the jars and it would probably be better with
sequential access). I wanted to give a shot at optimizing that but I
haven't found the time yet.

The Servlet 3 + Java configuration cost was really unacceptable (and
buggy) before Tomcat 7.0.26 (+ 30-40 seconds on each startup) where
the scan for interfaces and annotations configuring the servlet
environment was entirely rewritten.

Yeah, well, last time I checked, it wasn't so amazing but it was a
long time ago.

Without using the new Servlet 3 java configuration, Tomcat + our
applications usually start in 10-15 seconds in our dev environment
(and even less on our servers) so it's quite good.
