A method and apparatus for a process in a computer for processing a method that performs a function. A determination is made as to whether the method is to be executed normally when the method is loaded. Responsive to an absence of a determination that the method is a method to be executed normally, instructions native to the computer are associated with the method, wherein the instructions perform the function.
