[aspectj-users] impact of javaagent with no aspects

[Ashley Williams <ashley.williams@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would like to preconfigure our production
system startup scripts to include the -javaagent:aspectjweaver-1.5.3.jar
option, albeit with no aspects made visible to the weaver. That way if
we have a problem then we can drop in our tracing/profiling aspect jar
file into the lib directory without touching the script and just restart.

However because we are at the early
adoption stage, can we be sure that the mere inclusion of the javaagent
option won't noticably impact performance?

I haven't a clue what the weaver does
in premain() behind the scenes and I really don't want to do anything that
will affect anbody's confidence in AspectJ.

Thanks
- Ashley
