**Module:** OpenHMIS Cashier Module **Module Version:** 4.0.0 **System Version:** 2.3.0 **Reference Application Module:** 2.10.0 **Issue or Question:** When the server is started with the cashier module. It will stay at the `Initializing EhCache CacheManager` stage for more than 40 minutes. Without the module this stage takes less than 10 minutes. I’m willing to try debugging this, but I’m clueless on where to start. Thanks for your help! ---

I have forked the module and implemented your changes. > **[npiaget/openmrs-module-openhmis.cashier](https://github.com/npiaget/openmrs-module-openhmis.cashier/tree/EhCache)** > > EhCache @dkayiwa Would it be alright to ask for a PR ? @insiderish Daniel helped me to fix the very slow Initializing of EhCache on the module.
