This is a known characteristic of the T1 processor. It is slow for single threaded apps. And the boot of JBoss is essentially single threaded. They are working on it. If you want to boot your JBoss fast, you have to go for the fastest single threaded processor, like Intel P4 Extreme or AMD 3G+ equivalent. UltraSparc IV+ or 64 are not bad too, but still behind. But when it comes to real life applications, when parallelism comes into play, the T1 is not bad, due to it's zillions cores :-) HTH, Francois View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4192778#...
