Reducing the number of classes

[-]

Hi Claes,
I just wonder if you can share an output from -Xlog:class+load before and
after to see which classes contribute the most?
Bound instructions shouldn't be loaded in the JDK startup, as JDK I think
is exclusively writing new class files.
We do have a precedent where we merge bound and unbound objects, namely
Utf8EntryImpl where the state of <bound, unbound> is <byte array+range,
string>. For instructions I don't think we have done so yet, and I would
like to confirm that bound instruction classes are indeed loaded per
-Xlog:class+load. If they do get loaded, we can consider using the same
model the Utf8EntryImpl used.

Thanks, Chen
