I tried to introduce some micro-optimizations (pretty much like these) into the Tomcat codebase 8 years ago, but was met with 'meh why bother?' responses as the thinking was that the vm would pretty much make optimizations pointless. I suppose it depends on where the hotspots are.
And for a tool like Ant, it is unlikely that iterating a vector is consuming any measurable proportion of execution time, unless for some reason this particular vector is enormous or you are scanning it many thousands of times. Most of the time will be spent waiting for disk I/O, or CPU in some tool like javac. If you actually run a profiler on some typical loads and ignore unavoidable overhead (such as logically necessary file stats), usually you find some weird and vaguely embarrassing problem that you would never have guessed otherwise.
