Having followed this very interesting thread, I'm still wondering exactly 
how much measurable improvement could be achieved. I read an article on 
IBM developerWorks (sorry can't remember the URL) which stated that, on 
modern VMs, things like object creation aren't the performance bogeys that 
they once were. So I'm thinking that before we make a decision about 
committing to a change which might break someones app, is there any way by 
which we could measure the effects of the proposed change?

I, for one, would be interested to know.
