I come from .NET so pardon my knowledge of Java, but I have personally experienced catching exceptions in .NET causing insane delays (magnitude of seconds) which were fixed by removing "catching-exception code"..

@Pacerier, seriously? magnitude of seconds? I guess maybe it was catching lots of exceptions? Then I could see that.

@Pacerier: If exceptions are causing insane delays, clearly what's causing them isn't exceptional, and therefore should be handled in other ways. No system should take seconds to process an exception, and I think Microsoft's sufficiently competent to avoid that.
