I believe Faré's reason for starting a new image is to have it clean of any side-effects of previous compilations. Strictly speaking, this would only be possible if the JVM supported fork() or save-image, but unfortunately it doesn't and will probably never do. However, I have an idea for a compromise that would not get you a truly fresh new image, but could nevertheless create a new environment clean enough for most use cases. I don't have the time to go into details now, but that's definitely something I've been wanting to experiment with for some time.
Certainly sounds interesting. A FRESH-IMAGE contrib perhaps?
