One example, the jvm needs to scan every java class for specific annotations. The more unneccessary files in the classpath, the longer that takes.
Is that the JVM doing it, or is it actually done by certain frameworks that use annotations?
My understanding is that there are some frameworks that scan the classpath for annotations, and yes in that case it would be wise to minimize it, but in the more general case the class loader will load the directories but not the classes until they are actually referenced.
