/**
 * A cache to avoid calling FindClass at runtime.
 *
 * Class lookup is relatively expensive (2.5us on passion-eng at the time of writing), so we do
 * all such lookups eagerly at VM startup. This means that code that never uses, say,
 * java.util.zip.Deflater still has to pay for the lookup, but it means that on a device the cost
 * is definitely paid during boot and amortized. A central cache also removes the temptation to
 * dynamically call FindClass rather than add a small cache to each file that needs one. Another
 * cost is that each class cached here requires a global reference, though in practice we save
 * enough by not having a global reference for each file that uses a class such as java.lang.String
 * which is used in several files.
 *
 * FindClass is still called in a couple of situations: when throwing exceptions, and in some of
 * the serialization code. The former is clearly not a performance case, and we're currently
 * assuming that neither is the latter.
 *
 * TODO: similar arguments hold for field and method IDs; we should cache them centrally too.
