Hi Jiangli,

Just to let you know that I'm reviewing this.

Thanks,

It does not increase runtime memory usage when JvmtiExport::should_post_class_file_load_hook() is false. The memory contains the archived class file data is only paged in when the VM needs to post CFLH.  The ‘od’ space can be shared by different processes.
