Yeah, reducing the cost of AOP would be nice. We use the @DisableAOP 
annotation to bypass AOPDependencyBuilder, but I don't see that 
annotation used much, probably due to use of @JMX.

I was chatting with John Bailey, who's doing the VFS3 integration work, 
and I don't think your working there would be too productive right now. 
He's making fast progress. There are integration areas that still need 
sorting, but I expect that much of the time there will be spent having 
discussions, reaching consensus, which will be hard over the next couple 
weeks.
