+// During the development of the JDK 1.4 reflection implementation
+// based on dynamic bytecode generation, it was hoped that the bulk of
+// the native code for reflection could be removed. Unfortunately
+// there is currently a significant cost associated with loading the
+// stub classes which impacts startup time. Until this cost can be
+// reduced, the JVM entry points JVM_InvokeMethod and
+// JVM_NewInstanceFromConstructor are still needed; these and their
+// dependents currently constitute the bulk of the native code for
+// reflection. If this cost is reduced in the future, the
+// NativeMethodAccessorImpl and NativeConstructorAccessorImpl classes
+// can be removed from sun.reflect and all of the code guarded by this
+// flag removed from the product build. (Non-product builds,
+// specifically the "optimized" target, would retain the code so they
+// could be dropped into earlier JDKs for comparative benchmarking.)
