jcr session creation takes 2 seconds

[Torgeir Veimo]

I've started seeing lately that session creation takes up to two
seconds. Am creating a new session on each http request at the moment,
but from what I've been reading in the past, such creation should not
be too demanding on the repository.

21:41:47,549 DEBUG SessionManager  - creating new admin credentials
jcr session took: 1977ms

Session created as

session = repository.login(new SimpleCredentials("admin", new
char[]{'a','d','m','i','n'}));

Repository.xml as following. Any idea where I can look? Or do I need
to implement some sort of read-only session pooling?
