A new project just proposed for consideration on the OpenJDK mailing list would address the "long-term pain points" of Java's slow startup time, slow time to peak performance and large footprint.

Submitted this week in a call for discussion by Mark Reinhold, chief architect of Oracle's Java Platform Group, "Project Leyden" would address these pain points by introducing the concept of "static images" to the Java Platform and  the JDK.
