On my laptop the start-up time for a clean JBoss 4.2.1 installation is 42 seconds - for JBoss 5.0.0.CR1 start-up takes 2:50 minutes (4 times longer). My System configuration: Windows Vista SP1, JDK 1.6 (update 7). Is this bad behavior "intentional" or dependent on my configuration? If not, what can I do to speed-up my start-up time. Thanks for any help, Joe. -- GMX startet ShortView.de. Hier findest Du Leute mit Deinen Interessen! Jetzt dabei sein: http://www.shortview.de/wasistshortview.php?mc=sv_ext_mf@gmx
