While trying to model an application with a very large code footprint, we developed this JMH with its own classloader generating the desired number of classes from the string literal in the file, using the existing InMemoryJavaCompiler. Then these classes are are instantiated to the desired count, and methods are called in those objects, which can fill up the code cache, possibly causing code cache sweeping or compiler shut-off.

Consider changing the bug summary to "Add microbenchmark for stressing code cache".
