These compiled methods represent the active methods in the code cache. We split active methods into groups. We put a group into a fixed size code region. We make a code region aligned by its size. CodeCache becomes sparse when code regions are not fully filled. We measure the time taken to call all active methods.

I think if nmethods have the same size there could be effects on CPU caches when reading instructions because of regular pattern in CodeCache they will have. May be it can be achieved by adding blobs of different sizes between nmethods. You already use blobs to align group's start address.
