[jboss-dev] improving AS boot time

[Dimitris Andreadis]

Stale was looking at hotspots in AS bootstrap here:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5224

It seems the increase in AS boot time is not caused by AOP but by the increase in the number 
of calls to VFS, and I believe increased metadata processing.

For the VFS part I created a JIRA to look into optimizing the hotspots
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBVFS-26

AOP is looking in optimizing pointcut  matching:
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=135425

But we need to find more hotspots that could be optimized.

Ideally, optimization should come last, after all major refactorings are over, but it's good 
to know where we stand.
