Installers start ~28% faster
The native installers now launch noticeably quicker, about 28% faster to the first frame (~300–480 ms on macOS), thanks to a JDK 25 AOT cache trained against a real GUI run and baked into each installer. It degrades gracefully, so a launch can never be slower than before.
Grab a fresh installer to feel it, and read the deep-dive on the blog for how it works.
