Hi there. java.lang.Class.getAnnotations() always enters a synchronized-block, slowing down multi core machines that heavily make use of Annotations. (in our Case we use LoadTimeWeaving in the spring-framework 3.1.2) We are using sun-jdk 6 which has the same performance-bottleneck. openjdk7 and 8 show no fix so far, although it looks like it might be possible to build a kind of double-checked locking?
Has this issue ever been persued? Special Regards Alex Knöller
