3.9 ms, awesome dude!!! You guys rock!!!

I just tested Pluto 1.1.3 on my Macbook Pro 2.33 Mhz Intel Core 2  
Duo, and it started up in about 3 or 4 seconds
Some serious improvements in 1.1.4, you shaved Tomcat startup down to  
almost nothing!

With Jetspeed basic build (only j2-admin webapp) it starts in about 8  
seconds on the same machine
I guess adding webapps, depending on the size and number of classes,  
will be a constant for all portals as they
still all need to go through the Java class loader and pay the same  
price

Cool, nice of you to say that.
We use the Pluto container for portal development as well, embedded  
in Jetspeed.

Yes, that is my goal as well. Look forward to working with you
