        This stackwalking was to turn bcp (bytecode pointers) into the Method* into bci (bytecode indices) because the Method* moves and the bcp was a derived pointer from that. The Method* doesn't move anymore until deallocated. So this thread walk to change these things isn't necessary anymore.

        Might get some performance on full collections.

        Why didn't CMS do this?
