How is Leyden improving Java Performance? Part 2 of 3

Part 2 of the Leyden series explains how to use the new AOT (Ahead-Of-Time) cache capabilities introduced in JDK 25+ to reduce Java startup, warmup, and footprint costs. It details two workflows—a 2-step (joint training/assembly) and a 3-step (separate training and assembly) process—for generating and consuming AOT caches via new JVM command-line options. Test results demonstrate significant performance improvements already achieved.
