Note that only recursions will have more than 1 frame attached.

That's not true; in the presence of threads, the same method may also be invoked more than one time simultaneously.

But removing freelist altogether will not work well with any type of recursion.

How do you know that? Did you measure the time? On what system? What were the results?

Performance optimization without measuring is just unacceptable.
