其实JVM团队已经告诉你答案了，从ReflectionFactory.java里的注解中，这个注解是这样的：

//
    // "Inflation" mechanism. Loading bytecodes to implement
    // Method.invoke() and Constructor.newInstance() currently costs
    // 3-4x more than an invocation via native code for the first
    // invocation (though subsequent invocations have been benchmarked
    // to be over 20x faster). Unfortunately this cost increases
    // startup time for certain applications that use reflection
    // intensively (but only once per class) to bootstrap themselves.
    // To avoid this penalty we reuse the existing JVM entry points
    // for the first few invocations of Methods and Constructors and
    // then switch to the bytecode-based implementations.
    //
    // Package-private to be accessible to NativeMethodAccessorImpl
    // and NativeConstructorAccessorImpl

这就是为什么我们需要本机反射。
