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.
