Speeding up the development cycle at JavaZone

JavaZone 2009 has come to an end. It was a top notch conference: Great speakers and free beer.

My contribution was a lightning speed with entitled Speeding up the development cycle: Stash your files on a Solid State Drive

The abstract reads: Solid state drives have recently become easily available. Their performence may provide a way of reducing the time spent on on the development cycle: compiling, packeting and deploying applications. This paper shows promising results by locating the code base and local maven repository on a solid state drive. Initial experiments shows that time spent on waiting for your code to compile may be reduced by 50%.
