Here's a branch on top of your PR with an exploration of this approach:

https://github.com/slowhog/jdk/compare/JDK-8359174...eirbjo:jdk:25981-classfile-api

This runs in less than 9 seconds on my machine, compared to 27 seconds  for the current PR.

Also noted that the `@enablePreview` seems no longer needed. The test now also runs fine without the heap adjustment and the `BytecodeVerificationLocal` options (but I don't understand the purpose of that one, perhaps it does serve some purpose?).
