       Investigation into traces of J2SE startup time has shown a large
      fraction of time spent in filename canonicalization, in particular
      redundant filename canonicalization. Some of these redundant
      canonicalization operations can and should be optimized at the JDK
      level; for example, redundant calls to System.loadLibrary("awt").
      However, implementing a time-expiring cache at the FileSystem level
      gets most if not all of the gains to be had, roughly 5% of Notepad's
      startup time.
