I am currently plagued and bedeviled by REALLY slow startup times on my
Mac. Glassfish and asadmin take a REALLY long time to start working.
Once they do, they run fine, but the getting there is difficult, which
is really problematic, as I have to restart the server a lot. For
example, take this asadmin invocation:
$ time ./asadmin list-commands
...
Command list-commands executed successfully.
real 0m30.773s
user 0m0.928s
sys 0m0.123s
As opposed to on my MUCH slower ~6 year old Linux box:
$ time ./asadmin list-commands
...
Command list-commands executed successfully.
real 0m6.526s
user 0m1.021s
sys 0m0.169s
The only env var I can see that might affect the speed is JAVA_OPTS,
which is set to "-Xmx512m", but clearing that doesn't help. Maven and
other Java-based tools don't seem to be bothered by this. My
environment is Snow Leopard with java full version "1.6.0_20-b02-279".
Plenty of disk and memory available.
Any ideas? This is killing me. :)
