Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-2904:
----------------------------------------------

Yes, it can easily enabled using ant's jar target.

> Investigate the performance effect of adding an index to the Derby jar files 
> (derby.jar, etc.)

> Since JDK 1.3 the Java jar format has supported an index to speed up class 
> loading. Sounds like it would be useful for derby's jar file, especially 
> derby.jar with its many classes. The ant jar target has an index attribute to 
> enabled the index.
> Would be interesting to see the performance benefit and the increased size of 
> the jar files.
> As a thought for a performance test, a simple test that loaded Derby in 
> separate class loaders, opened an existing database and executed a query to 
> load as many classes as possible.
>  for (number of iterations)
>  {
>     create new class loader
>     load derby in class loader
>     boot database
>     prepare query
>     shutdown derby
> }
> Then time with a reasonable number of iterations. (I think 1 is too few, 
> hence the use of a class loader).
