performance surprise with Object.hashCode()

[Vitaly Davidovich]

Interesting, I didn't know about the DisableIntrinsic flag.  I think the
o_i takes a hit because the hashCode there is so trivial that the guards
themselves cost more in pure overhead.

What I'm curious about is why there's no polymorphic inline cache? Is it
that intrinsics don't receive profile information and don't have deopt
support? It's probably the case that most classes don't override hashCode
but this does penalize classes with trivial ones.
