I'm not so sure it's worth it.  A very large program might have as many 
as 10000 methods, but anything important is going to have millions to 
billions of method calls (HelloWorld is hundreds of thousands IIRC).  In 
general, profile, then optimize.

Still, I think it's an interesting way to get familiar with the VM. 
Maybe Etienne can assign it in his winter VM course (which I might take).
