RFR: 5043030 (reflect) unnecessary object creation in reflection

[Joel Borggrén-Franck]

Hi,

We need you send in the patches via the mailing list. Please reply to your mail with the diffs attached directly (not zipped for example).

I’ll might have time to look at this next week, but it surprises me you need to patch hotspot. Allocations before we have inflated shouldn’t be a problem.

Also do you have any data showing that this actually makes a difference?

cheers
/Joel
