Hi,
java.lang.Shutdown uses a static nested Lock class for synchronization.
This seems trivially replaceable with new Object() which would reduce
class loading during shutdown.
java.lang.ref.ReferenceQueue uses a similar idiom and could potentially
be cleaned up as well.
I'd be happy to contribute a PR for this cleanup. Worth pursuing? Thoughts?
You would lose potentially important information when reporting monitors
owned by a thread.
Also I think Valhalla is trying to dissuade/move-away-from using "new
Object()".
