When installed Sun 1 App Server 8.0 PE with JDK1.5.0 b51, I noticed the start-domain performance was quite slow compared with previous builds. After working with Madhava, we tried installing Sun 1 App Server with different JDK1.5.0 builds and found the performance at the start-domain time is deteriorated from b49 to b51.

The time is measured from the "Compiling RMI-IIPO code" to "Application server startup complete" during start-domain in Sun1AppServer80PE.

Some info on the different machines: (take a look at the timestamp)

STEP TO REPRODUCE
=================
1. Install Sun1AppServer8.0PE bundle with JDK1.5.0 B51.
cd /java/re/s1aspe/8.0/promoted/fcs/latest/bundles/
./sjsas_pe-8_0-windows.exe -javahome <jdk1.5.0 b51 path>
After install wizard starts, go thru the wizard and complete the installation.

2. Start the Sun1AppServer8.0PE
The default install location in windows is c:/Sun/AppServer.
If you install in the different location, please cd to your specified install location.

cd C:/Sun/AppServer/bin
./asadmin start-domain --verbose

3. Observe the start-domain time


Attached 2 server.log for more investigation. Madhava will provide further investigation on c2 performance on start-domain with b51.

This is clientVM issue only, ServerVM works with no problems.
