I believe the idea is: notice if the exception object is discarded in the catching frame, and, if so, simply branch there rather than creating the object, filling in the stack trace, etc. This only works for things like `throw new Foo()', but that is a very common case. I believe ORP does this optimization. I doubt this is the cause of a factor of 10 improvement. But it may still be important.
