Eitherway, I want to turn it off. :-) I'm doing local development on my box
and I don't need or even want super secure sessions. A semi random number is
more than enough for me. In fact, for this use, if it was just a number that
incremented without any randomness in it at all, that would be fine with me.

The first call to getServletConfig() is taking over a minute on my machine.

That sucks balls. :-)
