Implementation Patch

The current LTW strategy to avoid instanceof tests adds about 10% overhead to the weaving process from my profiling. This patch uses some fast matching (checking hashcodes before string equals) and also provides a Xset option to favor faster loading rather than faster runtime performance (i.e., sometimes it will produce an instanceof test where full analysis would have realized one wasn't necessary). My tests show that this is a very improbable event, so for my needs the reduced overhead at load-time was far more preferable.
