[jboss-dev] Different Boottimes from pruning

Fri Dec 18 09:23:06 EST 2009

Now the latest release of JBM connects the two channels in different 
threads. But unfortunately for JBM to be fully started and ready for 
work, we need both channels to finish their connections.
So with parallel in place, it is the channel who takes longer time to 
connect decide the total connect time. Before that we can't print out 
message like "JBoss Messaging 1.x is started" on to the console (or can we?)

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBMESSAGING-1680

Next thing in JBM that affects the start up time is the DB operation, 
esp the first time, it will create a bunch of tables in DB if not exist.
