I don't have the full context here but core-libs-dev is the place to 
bring optimizations to serialization. As David said, serialization and 
OIS/deserialization in particular, has a long rap sheet, including 
security issues found with previous attempts to cache the "latest user 
defined class loader". I also have concerns that this is introducing 
code that may not be exercised in OpenJDK. If you can get someone to 
publish a webrev on cr.ojn and start a discussion on core-libs-dev then 
it would be helpful.
