However, this can delay performance hits, leading to perceivable performance drops the first time various functions are invoked.\n\nThus we should provide a `Context.preload` method that performs an `initialize`-style function across all `Services`. This allows it to be opt-in both at the `Service` implementation level, and `Context` consumption level (e.g. developers could choose to make a `Context` and not call `preload`).\n\nThe actual `preload` implementations should perform necessary construction and caching on a dedicated thread to mitigate visible performance problems for users.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/hinerm","@type":"Person","name":"hinerm"},"datePublished":"2015-02-04T15:40:26.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/145/scijava-common/issues/145"}
