Hi,
Please approve this backport into 7u of changes to speed up access to the classloader. There are hotspot and JDK components. Changes have been in jdk9 for nearly 2 months, these for 7u are almost identical to the 8u push which went in more recently.
bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6642881 webrevs for 7u: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kevinw/6642881/webrev.hotspot/ http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kevinw/6642881/webrev.jdk/ Thanks Kevin
