I just ran some very quick and dirty profiling with the latest Jbossas and the 
results are as follows:


Beans   Startup Time    Startup (WELDX) Memory Usage    Mem Usage(no beans.xml)
No Deployment   17                      135
20      20      22      149     
500     24      26      178     
2000    35      43      265     
5000    87      104     440     210


So jboss uses 135Mb normally, and 210Mb when a war with 5000 classes is 
deployed that does not have beans.xml. When you add weld to the mix the memory 
usage jumps by 230Mb to 440Mb.

According to yjp WeldClassImpl (and it's retained WeldMethod/Field etc) is 
responsible for 120Mb of this. Other major culprits seem to be 
TypeSafeObserverResolver at 24Mb (as it is caching ProcessAnnotatedType<Bean*> 
* 5000) and TypeSafeDecoratorResolver at 13Mb. Not much else stands out.

The beans used where quite simple (1 injection point, 7 fields, 6 methods), no 
normal scoped beans, no interceptors, not decorators. Weldx does have a notable 
effect on startup time, which I will also investigate.

I don't think it will be to hard to significantly reduce this. Reducing the 
number of HashMap's in WeldClassImpl (and replacing some with 
ImmutableArraySet) should give a significant gain, and clearing the 
TypeSafeObserverResolver and TypeSafeDecoratorResolver after startup should 
also save around 40Mb. I'll try and do some work this week and see how much I 
can get this down.
