> Avoid expensive `Class.forName` call when constructing Providers such as `SecureRandom` which take constructor parameters. This can easily be cached in EngineDescription (this cache already existed before, it was removed in [JDK-8280970](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8280970) as unused, I'm bringing it back unchanged to support this new usage).
>
> Benchmark results on my Linux x86 host show around a 20% reduction in time to create a new `SecureRandom` instance. Most of the remaining overhead is due to a failing constructor lookup - see [JDK-8324648](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8324648).

> I have seen multiple real-world applications which call `new SecureRandom()` on the hot path, so I believe efficiency here is important.
