Hi Mike, Check out the following bug report, I had a similar issue and my solution was to modify the hibernate session factory so that it only instruments persistent objects as they are encountered for the first time. I attached a patch to the bug report which is a modified session factory that implements the on-demand instrumentation. This greatly reduces the startup time of hibernate.
