To be honest, I didn't look at the source for any of the code that you 
mentioned. My concerns about classes and classloaders were based solely on 
seeing "cache" and "class" and "classloader" all occurring together. I expect 
that some of the hotspots that you have identified can be safely cached.

Generally-speaking, pooling concerns me. It's tough to get it right without 
introducing scalability bottlenecks. I think that we should be sure to 
demonstrate that  there's a big performance win involved before implementing 
something like this.

Also, theoretically, creating a new Broker should be pretty quick. There are a 
number of bookkeeping data structures in a Broker, but not *that* many.

> Cache the TransactionManager in JNDIManagedRuntime

Seems safe to me, although I'm neither a JNDI expert nor a JTA expert, so can't 
comment on any issues that might come up with security principals or other 
contextual data if we do cache things. 

I'm curious, though -- I thought that in Websphere, there was a direct API that 
you could invoke to get the TM. To the extent that we can avoid using JNDI 
altogether for commonly-used appservers, I imagine that JNDI optimization isn't 
going to bring that much bang for the buck.

> Cache the Type hashcodes for OpenJPAId.hashcode()

Seems legit. An ID refers to an instance; the type of an instance doesn't 
change over time.

> BrokerImpl (gate with TRACE)

Yeah, this should definitely help things out.

Of course, with all the above issues, numbers don't lie. So, if there are 
significant performance improvements to be had, we should look into doing the 
work to make them available, whether that means additional code complexity or 
additional configuration options etc.
