No, I was curious as just after a relocation possibly all the mutators
will trigger the load barrier, multiple times to access the objects
they need to work with, so they will incur in overhead but they have
all CPUs available.
Since the remapping would start from the roots, i.e. local variables,
that are likely to be used first by the mutator, then the mutators
would have less overhead because they won't trigger the load barrier
as much, but have less CPUs available.

I have also other sources confirming that doing an early remapping is
not worth it.

Thanks!
