I actually don't feel final by default is a big deal at all. Of all the factors that caused the poor performance that was discussed in the original post, final is the least significant one, only caused 5% to %7 of a speed penalty in a heavily recursive and looping program. Because of this I think its effect in less demanding scenario is negligible. Those who really needs the extra speed can simply add final to their methods in the hot path.
Would be great to collect a summary of the changes and their benefits. Thanks finalpatch and everyone else for this work. Andrei
