I agree with earlier comments in particular from Jochen and Cédric. I also suspect that JDK 9 issues may force us down the indy only path at some point not too far away and I think we just have to keep optimising the common cases in the meantime using some benchmarking tests perhaps to guide efforts - just hard to find the time to tackle that right now.
10 cent time: With regards to the problem of development resources, have you tried / considered gathering money through crowdfunding to pay someone to speed up important development goals ? I think I read a post by you that touched on the topic of being a paid Groovy developer, and I am not suggesting someone quit his day job to do this. Funding would most likely be too unsteady to do that. But if someone already had a software company with some employees, he could see this as one project among others, on which one developer could work for some time. And it woud allow companies who use Groovy to expedit development without committing too much...
