Faster card marking: chances for Java 6 backport

[Taras Tielkes]

Hi Bengt,

Thanks for the correction - you're completely right, of course.

To me, the decision process for which performance improvements are
backported to the previous release stream has never been completely
clear.
Given that the change in question seems quite an isolated fix, I
though it would make sense to ask.

Thanks,
-tt
