Hi all,

We have had support for sling:alias properties for a long time. This allows to 
create URL aliases for example for i18n. Yet, it also creates some overhead for 
resolution of non-existing URLs.

Whenever an URL cannot directly be resolved it is split in segments and the 
resource tree is walked down from the top resolving each segment: If a child 
resource is not found, all children are inspected for a sling:alias property. 
Only if none has been found, the iteration terminates and resource resolution 
fails.

This is potentially a costly operation and may not always be required.

I wonder, whether we should have a configuration option to be able to switch 
off sling:alias support (Default would be enabled sling:alias support for 
backwards compatibility).

Regards
Felix
