[jboss-dev] 1' hornetq delay on first boot

Fri Jul 2 14:21:34 EDT 2010

It's very common on the JMS world users downloading the server, trying 
out of the box settings and compare performance results with other 
servers before taking a decision. We have seen this so many times already.

Using less files for HornetQ would be ok for development.. but we don't 
have a production profile where users would take benchmark results.

I believe other projects would have the same issue as well. (settings 
for production as opposed to development)
