Hi,

To answer Paul's question about the exact startup gain:
20 named classes observable with -Xlog:class+load (11
additional anonymous show up in heap dumps), for example:
java.lang.invoke.MethodType$ConcurrentWeakInternSet
java.lang.invoke.MethodType$ConcurrentWeakInternSet$WeakEntry
java.lang.invoke.MethodTypeForm
java.lang.invoke.VarHandle$1
java.lang.invoke.VarHandle$AccessDescriptor
java.lang.invoke.VarHandle$AccessMode
java.lang.invoke.VarHandle$AccessType
java.lang.invoke.VarHandleGuards
java.lang.invoke.VarHandleInts$FieldInstanceReadOnly
java.lang.invoke.VarHandleInts$FieldInstanceReadWrite
java.lang.invoke.VarHandles
java.lang.invoke.VarHandle$TypesAndInvokers
Not initializing this eagerly drops retained heap on a minimal
Hello World by ~17Kb, and a 3-10ms startup improvement
on similar programs (naturally varies a lot between systems
due to timing of when/if JIT compilations happen during early
execution).
I assume these classes will be loaded by anything non-trivial but having
them but keeping them out of hello world/short running tools is good.
The updated webrev looks okay to me.
