Greetings, I hadn't built ABCL in a little while so I checked out the latest version today and built it. It seemed to be significantly slower than before so I decided to investigate. This is what I found. In the past I could build ABCL in 2:43. It now takes me 4:40. That (IMO) represents a pretty significant change in build time. I did a binary search and discovered that all of the change occurred at revision 12918 - Generic Class File Branch Merge. In general, I could't care less about the build time unless it is indicative of a problem that could rear its head in my application. Where is that time being spent? Is there a change in runtime? Loading? Compiling? I'd be real interested in this. Thanks. Blake McBride
