      Swing uses reflection to access values for it's key bindings. Under the new reflection mechanism this causes ~40 classes to be generated -- which slows application startup. The mechanism to access these fields could be changed to use a new "unsafe" entry point. This should speed up first-time access to static files, and improve Swing startup time.
