Yes, and you can increase startup time by disabling JIT in
the script launching your Java program. This is interesting
when the program will run a short time (as XSL engines).
With UNIX, you would add in your script :

export JAVA_COMPILER=

You can save a lot of time this way.

The situation is different for Servlets because the Java code
is compiled once for all and because the VM is allready started
when XSL engine operates.

Yes, and the Java VM should be a daemon, saving startup time.
