It does.. Every request triggers a check if the file has been in updated and
changed, so if you have a lot of hits, it will be noticable.. Since
reloading (at least my experience) is not the most stable (it can have some
strange results..) thing that could happen to you, I would not use it in
production environments anyway. For development it is ok.. If you have 10
servlets and 600 supporting classes, reloading doesn't help very much...
(catalina should handle this properly btw..)
In tomcat 3.3 (now beta) you can select ( is default as far as I know) to
do context reloading, which I personally prefer while developing..
