Hi everyone, I've been doing some analysis of alternatives to using the JDK methods for parsing and writing floats and doubles. See https://github.com/pjfanning/double-reader-writer for some numbers and links.
The results are pretty good. POI does a lot of double parsing (for example). It may not be worth the extra code complexity/maintenance, given the expensive work that POI has to do generally. I'm not planning on making any POI changes but I'm just sharing the details, in case someone might have a use case that might be helped by using these alternatives. Hopefully, the JDK teams will consider moving some of these more performant algorithms into the JDK itself.
