Comments
Run the example https://www.theice.com/launch from JDK-8075574. The subsequent application launch time is comparatively slow with 8u60 when compared to 8u51 and 8u45. Result: 8u45: 3 min appx. 8u51: 4.5 min appx. 8u60: 5.3 min appx. Note: Make sure to delete the files from JCP cache with every attempt. Moving this up for dev. team analysis.
