I think pre-processing will always be better (in terms of size of 
executable).

For example making VMClassLoader extend SecureClassLoader instead of 
URLClassLoader saves some code.  I don't think you could re-parent a 
class in post-processing very easily, but pre-processing it is quite simple.

I can think of other things that are similar.
