This is a shot in the dark but would it be possible to reduce the work
the garbage collector has to do by allocating temporary objects that
live within the scope of a method call on the stack?  It'd be
interesting to see some statistics on what percentage of objects
created in a typical Java program are temporary objects.  I'd suspect
its pretty high.

Do any VM's do this?
