How does this relate to Armin Rigo's method cache patch?
Interesting. Armin's approach uses a single global cache of up to 1024 descriptors. That seems a lot simpler than anything I thought of, and might perform better by encouraging the processor to keep the descriptors in cache. It has a lot less pointer indirection, and has a dirt-simple way of invalidating a class' entries when something changes. Was there any reason (aside from the usual lack of volunteers for review) why it didn't go in already?
