Let $D\subset R^d$ be a bounded domain and let $\mathcal P(D)$ denote the space of probability measures on $D$. Consider a Brownian motion in $D$ which is killed at the boundary and which, while alive, jumps instantaneously according to a spatially dependent exponential clock with intensity $\gamma V$ to a new point, according to a distribution $\mu\in\mathcal P(D)$. From its new position after the jump, the process repeats the above behavior independently of what has transpired previously. The generator of this process is an extension of the operator $-L_{\gamma,\mu}$, defined by L_{\gamma,\mu}u\equiv -\frac12\Delta u+\gamma V C_\mu(u), with the Dirichlet boundary condition, where $C_\mu$ is the "$\mu$-centering" operator defined by C_\mu(u)=u-\int_Du d\mu. The principal eigenvalue, $\lambda_0(\gamma,\mu)$, of $L_{\gamma,\mu}$ governs the exponential rate of decay of the probability of not exiting $D$ for large time. We study the asymptotic behavior of $\lambda_0(\gamma,\mu)$ as $\gamma\to\infty$. In particular, if $\mu$ possesses a density in a neighborhood of the boundary, which we call $\mu$, then \lim_{\gamma\to\infty}\gamma^{-\frac12}\lambda_0(\gamma,\mu)=\frac{\int_{\partial D}\frac\mu{\sqrt {V}}d\sigma}{\sqrt2\int_D\frac1{V}d\mu}. If $\mu$ and all its derivatives up to order $k-1$ vanish on the boundary, but the $k$-th derivative does not vanish identically on the boundary, then $\lambda_0(\gamma,\mu)$ behaves asymptotically like $c_k\gamma^{\frac{1-k}2}$, for an explicit constant $c_k$.
