Thanks Alan,

however, I've chatted with Brian since this one conflicts with changes
in JDK-8229845[1]: some of the optimizations there reduce the amount of
objects created during initialization, which mean we won't profit as
much from archiving, so I'll hold this back until JDK-8229845 is
integrated, rebase and evaluate that this is still a worthwhile
enhancement.

Thanks!
