    Description

      The initial lookup of the local hostname adds unnecessary overhead to startup time when a configuration doesn't reference it. This can be especially egregious if Java is unable to figure out the local hostname without performing a DNS lookup.

      The hostname lookup should be deferred until it's needed. This should help reduce startup time.
