Hi I just pushed some commits that improves a little bit the startup of Apache Camel. The Caffeine LRUCache will upon initialization block for 150 - 200 millis, which we can do in parallel while Camel is being started. Before this initialization was always forced when you created a new instance of DefaultCamelContext which means it was blocking for any runtime you were using. We now do a special warm-up of the LRUCache in a separate thread to allow the constructor of DefaultCamelContext to carry on and continue starting up. This makes starting Camel on Spring Boot etc faster as there is plenty of Spring Boot startup happening at the same time.
