I've been holding off on this, because it's hard to demonstrate, OS-specific,
and quite difficult to debug, but it's getting to be problematic.  Kepler slows
significantly under XP.  It's noticeable following the example of
http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4359.  This particular bug
may exacerbate the problem, but it has been noticeable in other unrelated
situations.  I'd quote duration statistics, but much of the time is spent in
the Preinitializing and Wrapping Up which aren't included in the duration.

I'd argue for the importance of this for the release.  My understanding is that
most devs use macs, while much of our user-base (at least in South Africa, but
likely elsewhere as well) uses XP.

It's possible this is related to the Java VM version, but I'm not certain about
that.
