It really is not possible to reduce the java footprint at the code level.  It 
is entirely dependent on the VM implementation.  Java doesn't lend itself well 
to threaded p-code, even though it supports threads, so it is not realistic to 
expect good performance.  There are things you can do in the code to get 
better performance, but you are still dependent on the VM.
