Another approach can be to load the cui and tui mappings from a flat file( *cui_text_umls_all_bsv* & *cui_tui_umls_all_bsv_full)*in memory instead of hsqldb . Authentication can be easily disabled by modifying the stakes code(*UmlsDictionaryLookupAnnotator & UmlsUserApprover)*. The con is that there is a startup cost while the cui and tui mapping files are loaded in memory . However, the pro is usually faster or at least as fast as hsqldb lookup.
