Delayed hangup at start

[jwflory]

Whenever a CrystalSpace server first starts up, sometimes the CrystalSpace plugin will hang during startup, subsequently delaying the entire startup process. The cause is currently unknown; however, it seems to happen in-between the first and last output of the following snippet.

[18:54:21 INFO]: [CrystalSpace] Enabling CrystalSpace v3.0.0-ALPHA-5
[18:54:21 INFO]: [CrystalSpace] The plugin will now start sending usage stats. You can disable this plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml!

The code will need to evaluated to determine the issue and then optimize the code. Presently, we are looking at an almost two-minute initialization, which should not be happening.

        try {
            Metrics metrics = new Metrics();
            metrics.beginMeasuringPlugin(this);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // Fail silently
            MessageHandler.debugPrint(Level.WARNING, "Failed to contact Metrics (usage stats)");
        }

Metrics issue? It should be async, but if the hangup is indeed random, perhaps it depends on what the Metrics class is up to.

@iffa
Perhaps, it's actually likely something has changed in the Metrics setup since it was originally implemented. I'll dig through it a bit today.

Possibly fixed with up-to-date Metrics class
