That reminds me that when frameworks make use of Integrators (especially ServiceContributingIntegrator), they can't fully disable them. I have created https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7319

Also, if you do not use Hibernate Validator annotations, 90MB might indeed be too much :) Hardy, I wonder if we could optimize the memory model and JPa initialization so that we check if a class has constraints and if it does not, Hibernate Validator keeps a small placeholder to remember that but does not consume any other memory for this non validated class. We could save a lot instead of building the model and keeping it in memory.

I have created https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HV-589

Andrej, I wonder if you could share with us these memory dumps privately so we could also analyze them.
