Crypto takes 17 seconds to wind up for the throw...

What takes time in this situation I belive is.

   // this depends on the quality of the randomness your system provides
   SecureRandom random = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG");

   // done by Cipher.getInstance("DES"); in the background, the constructor
   // of DESCipher is pretty slow, don't really know what is does, generates
   // keys?
   com.sun.crypto.provider.DESCipher dc =
     new com.sun.crypto.provider.DESCipher();

Random stir:    1155 (those two above combined)
Cipher DES:       686 (if above is pre-done this goes faster)

Your system must be quite slow if that takes 17 seconds,
getInstance("DES") in your program out of the box took me 1230 msec.

ps. Any plans for getting the hotspot profiler working?
