Other relevant info you may wish to add:

• jbundler, pry, and rake
• vert.x-3.5.0, cassandra-driver, kafka, and rxjava (all java libs)

Expected Behavior

• Identical interface implementations should be cached.

Attached a verbose class loading log, digged into this when seeing 2+M loaded classes in JConsole, most being collected again, ~50K classes remain resident.

iface_impl.log

With -Xinterfaces.useProxy=true I'm only seeing ~13K resident classes and ~750MiB less memory being used (guess that's Metaspace), so that seems like a viable workaround for now.
