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.
