Compared to .NET Java has less predictable performance. For example, I wrote a date chooser and my code used quite a lot of anonymous inner classes. The first time the user used that part of the application there was a noticeable delay due to classloading, that I moved to application startup time just so that the user wouldn't see a delay.

It was actually a pretty small delay, less than a second, but in the context of an app that normally responds instantly it was visibly slow.

As I understand it, .NET loads an assembly at a time, not a class at a time.

I know the problem, but isn't this something that can be fixed with a customized classloader that does preloading and mimics the behaviour of .NET?
