Improve classloader speed especially for GUI use and startup time
When you start using classloaders with several levels of parent hierarchy, startup (load) performance suffers. For example, perfectly normal cache misses from one loader to its parent are communicated with exceptions

proposals include

4868279 class file format checker improvement
4886621 class file parser improvement
4894899 (cl) Need new ClassLoader.defineClass API to improve class loading speed.
