Hi Scott, Related to your testing on a large app (really glad to see you're doing that), if you could also flag the server start times I think that would be of high value. I know this RC intentionally doesn't contain hotswap, but that continues to be a non-starter for us in adopting a grails version beyond 5 and would love to ensure that production scale apps and considerations are being evaluated in the further RC milestones.
