Yes, it's an option but thanks for the offer :)  In any case, from what
I learned about making jarred bootcp fast we should NOT have any such
performance penalties, unless there really is something broken in which
case it should be fixed.

See http://sablevm.org/bugs/2 for performance results.  I see no good
reason why the penalty because of compressed classpath should be bigger
than a fraction of second.

I still need to hear from more people how *their* apps and benchmarks
perform with 1.1.7-pre, especially when classpath is jarred in storeonly
mode and how it compares to uncompressed (on-disk) clases.  How are
your benchmarks performing, btw? ;-)
