Hello dear commiters, I've just found that our org.apache.camel.impl.converter.InstanceMethodTypeConverter has synchronized convertTo() method. I believe this synchronization is unnecessary as converters should be thread safe I believe. If it is the case, than we shouldn't need this synchronization.
In fact I've just hit this synchronization, as XmlConverter could take a long time to do its job. In heavy traffic there could be a lot of congestion there. Some threads were waiting on this lock for 87 seconds! I believe it is OK to remove it, but if someone knows of any important reasons to leave it - just shout! ;) Roman
