Unfortunately, recreating GCs probably accounts for only a small portion of the
~2x slowdown that is reported here. But it would be nice to be wrong.

If you're serious about working on performance issues, I highly recommend a
profile-based approach over the "hmmm...that code looks slow" approach. I'm
surprised that we don't get many dtrace profiles from you Sun folks in these
performance bug reports. Dtrace is the bomb!
