idk what the issue was ... even after several reboots it kept failing to start, and version would take 5+ minutes to output. I flipped my table and went home. The next day it decided to start and function correctly because computer.

Hah, what was the issue?
To be fair, I completely agree logstash has bad startup time (it's usually 10-ish seconds for me, which is still tragically slow, we're working on that)

this is stupid ... its not a logstash problem, was I drunk when I decided to create a jira for it ?

Logstash doesn't seem to ever fully start and collect logs. Doesn't even provide any stdout output after 10+ minutes.
even a simple `logstash version` takes a long time ( tried with both openjdk and oracle ) :
```
root@logstash-n01:~# time JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 /opt/logstash/server/bin/logstash version
logstash 1.4.1
real 2m50.969s
user 4m36.853s
sys 0m6.616s
```
I'm sure this is a problem with the server itself, rather than logstash code, but I haven't been able to track down anything that would suggest what is wrong.
It's a ubuntu 12.04 box, all packages updated.
32gb ram, 12core E5-2640 CPU
I've removed and reinstalled logstash, removed and reinstalled java.
