I think the reason for the excessive startup time you are seing is due
to Calender being time zone and locale specific, and loading the data
for all time zones is expensive, as well as loading the data for all
locales. The classes to look into are
libraries/javalib/external/classpath/java/util/Locale.java and
libraries/javalib/external/classpath/java/util/TimeZone.java (on CVS
head). My guess would be that loading all the properties data in
libraries/javalib/external/classpath/resource/gnu/java/locale is what's
slowing you down, so you could be able to work around that by using a
different initialisation method, or only defining the localized
resources you really need in the locale database.

cheers,
