Might be worthwhile: freezing is very quick (basically a single write),
thawing is slightly slower (an out-of-line call, but a short one).  The
effect of freezing will only be felt after a couple of GCs, when
everything the array points to is pulled into the old generation and the
GC can take it off the mutable list.
