title: Java: what is JITC's reflection inflation?
body: <p>I recently came across this interesting term and searched on Net to know more about it. However the info I found is sketchy. Could someone pl. give me a somewhat detailed explanation of what this is and why is this useful? </p>
  
  <p>From the info I found, it looks like this mechanism makes reflective method execution faster, at the expense of creating a lot of dynamic classes and hogging perm gen memory area, but I'm not sure about it.</p>
