Tomcat startup time

Hi,

I noticed that Tomcat startup time nearly tripled between versions 5.5.15
and 5.5.16 and
doubled when 6.0.18 is compared to 5.5.15.

My setup: server.xml contains 11 <Host> definitions with 4 <Alias>
definitions on average
per <Host>. I have only one context.xml in conf/Catalina/somehost.com (to
reduce startup
time during development).

It is possible to reduce startup time for 5.5.16 and 6.0.18 when I take out
currently unused
<Host> definitions, but this is cumbersome during development and testing.

Does someone know what is causing this problem? Is there a way to get better
startup times without removing <Host> or <Alias> definitions?

Regards,
Alf
