> Accessing Java objects from native code is also a pain, with potential performance gotchas (pinning, mostly).

What do you mean by pinning? If you mean pinning threads to cores, how does that relate to JNI?

Probably pinning the object in memory, so that you can keep a stable reference to it without the danger of the GC moving it away under your pointer.

Do some research on GC locker.
