[Soot-list] Is there any way to get Soot to save the jimplified representations of the classes?

[Kin Keung Ma]

Could you tell me why it doesn't save time?
I mean, what's the time mainly spent in when calling retrieveActiveBody()?

And, is it possible to cache the JimpleBody through, say,
ObjectOutputStream, that I can load it from file in the future?
Thanks.
