Lloyd, feel free to donate me a machine so I can reproduce ;-)

seriously, one optimization we could do is to check which module has
changed and delete that module cached information. It might be something
felix supports but this is not something that would help our users since
they most likely never update bundles in glassfish/modules, only us do.
