Hi,

Could I have a review of change that removes object caching for performance sensitive events in java.base. Instead events are written directly using the event handler. Purpose is to avoid memory bloat when using thread-locals together with virtual threads for project Loom, but it will benefit ordinary threads as well, so plan is to check it in for JDK 15.

Bug:

Testing: jdk/jdk/jfr + reproducer in the original allocation bug

Thanks
Erik
