> poor java startup time

For the one's really keen on reducing startup time the Jolt Java VM  
daemon may perhaps be of some interest:

I played with it a year ago when I was curious to see what could be  
done about startup time in the context of simple unix-scriptable  
command line XML webservice clients (the ones that require tons of  
jars as dependencies and take ages to initialize). Startup time went  
from 3-5 secs to zero. Feels like "ls" - you hit ENTER and the  
program completes *instantly*. Of course there's a catch. It requires  
some more work, and it's not a general solution wrt. isolation,  
security, reliability, etc. but for a simple command line lucene  
query tool it might just do fine, FWIW.

Long-term Sun's MVM might be a more comprehensive solution, with some  
luck.
