The question about lambda's performance

[Brian Goetz]

Thanks for trying out the implementation!

We are still very much in the prototype stage of the development of the 
implementation.  Currently the compiler generates inner classes, but 
that is definitely a temporary strategy.  Our focus has been exclusively 
on delivering something that works, so people can try it out.  Many 
shortcuts have been taken to get something in people's hands as early as 
possible, so that we could get feedback on the usability of the features.

Any conclusions drawn from performance measurements at this time would 
definitely be premature.
