> By caching default constructors used in `java.security.Provider::newInstanceUtil` in a `ClassValue`, we can reduce the overhead of allocating instances in a variety of places, e.g., `MessageDigest::getInstance`, without compromising thread-safety or security.
> 
> On the provided microbenchmark `MessageDigest.getInstance(digesterName)` improves substantially for any `digesterName` - around -90ns/op and -120B/op:
