      Merging the constant pools of multiple classes from multiple classfiles and
      storing the resulting merged classfile in one file is believed to significantly
      reduce the aggregate size of the class representation, resulting in a much
      smaller footprint and shorter jvm class load times. Smaller footprint leads
      to smaller download time and shorter class load time leads to faster startup.
