I am using Spring Version 2.5.4.
I have two questions

Q1. Does getBean() method of AbstractbeanFactory class has performance issue?
If not, then what is the expected time in which it fetches bean?

Q2. When server is started. On first hit, I am facing performance issue when using getBean() method to fetch Bean.
Is there any other way apart from using getBean() method through which I can fetch bean in my code ?
Please reply asap
