Arguably I might be a few years behind on developments regarding
java.lang.Calendar within the JDK, but from previous experience the
Calendar class is about as inefficient as things get, and anything
touching the calendar sprays your heap with objects. As far as I can
see, this just seems to be swapping around object allocation, probably
to the worse (instead of one visible object allocation within
commons-lang you're creating a fair bit of com.sun allocations as far
as I know)
I'd really like to see som evidence that this is an improvement, if
nothing else to enlighten me :)
