Well we knew we had issues there, but we did not definitively know if there were other factors.

Yes, we should do that as well. > Optimizing things in vfs/aop is of course all good since that will > benefit all, but maybe it's certain modules usage of these layers > that are the problem. > This is most likely the case with at least the VFS issues, since we know that we have multiple passes happening from calling code. We have to look at the AOP usage in more detail, and try and remove it from areas where it's not really needed. > p.s. this is similar to how I optimized hibernate startup time - if > I just looked at the raw numbers I would blame classloading in the > vm to be the > culprit since that is where 12-20% of our time is spent - but > looking closer it is because Hibernates current design required > full access to all classes > it would persist upfront, instead of doing it "on-a-need-to-know" > basis.

Yeah, catching/correcting these issues long after major releases is always a pain. -- Jason T.
