Can you provide a pointer to a short, high-level documentation of this

Tom posted my original design proposal.
It's probably a standard implementation technique for OO languages,
Not as far as I know, but I don't know the literature that well.
It's possible it's a variant of a published technique, but not
to my knowledge. I've been wanting to write it up as a paper,
but never got around to it. It's also
possible that caching techniques may work better with todays
processors, where locality is everything. Of course caching can
be combined with gcj's indirect dispatch when the cache fails
- if the numbers were to show it makes sense.
