I had an issue with the load-time for the java runtime.
I did a site that only got a few hits per month, but on ONE day, it would
get like a thousand.
When people weren't hitting it all the time, they'd experience as much as 30
seconds delay while the runtime (or whatever) booted up (or whatever).
It was a teeny, tiny, simple servlet - like 10 lines of code.
But if nobody hit it in a while, the first hit would be slllloooowwww.
