Hi,

this patch removes calling Ticks::now when EventClassLoad isn't enabled, which has an effect on class loading performance:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~redestad/8179040/hotspot.01/

When tracing isn't enabled trace/tracing.hpp has dummy implementations which are easily optimized away by a compiler, which I've verified happens on linux OpenJDK builds with tracing disabled.

On builds with tracing enabled then the changes means the call to get the time only happen if the event is enabled, which achieves the sought after startup optimization.

Thanks!
