Hi Cody, the bug report you linked to suggests that the problem wasn't there in 7u5, but that this regression is noticeable for people upgrading from 7u5 to a newer version, so I don't think this is your problem?

Do you see this performance slowdown by just upgrading Java? Didn't make any other change on your system?
