I was looking at stripping libgcj.so itself, not really at stripping the executable.

Depending on how exactly the loading process goes, and to what extent it is cached
(I'm not familiar with the precise details of this process), loading 8 MB instead
of 40 MB of libgcj.so could conceivably be beneficial to startup time and memory
footprint? Or is there a reason why it hardly matters?
