2.0.2 -> 2.1 Comparisons (Startup Time)

[Matt Hogstrom <ho...@apache.org>]

I started to take a performance look at the difference between 2.0.2  
and 2.1.  Here is a sniff at the startup time differences.  There is a  
slight degredation of about 1/2 a second in OpenEJB but that appears  
to be related to some additional logging.  Perhaps this can be  
disabled before we cut 2.1.  I'll do some performance tests later  
tonight and tomorrow.

Here are the stats http://people.apache.org/~hogstrom/2.1-timings

Geronimo 2.0.2 Startup Time was 8.574 seconds with no applications  
installed
Geronimo 2.1    Startup Time was 9.053 seconds with no applications  
installed.

There were several INFO messages displayed during startup in OpenEJB  
that might be causing the regression.  OpenEJB's startup went from  
2.841s to 3.278s in 2.0.2 to 2.1 which accounts for almost all the  
increased startup times.
