I don't really get this article. It isn't necessary to optimize for minimal allocations if it doesn't affect response time. They mention the new technique was making too many allocations; why do they care how many allocations are being made, if response time is the same?

More optimization based on making escape analysis happy to reduce allocations. This is yet another data point in favor of a generational garbage collector with bump allocation in the nursery.
