------- Comment #4 from ian dot rogers at manchester dot ac dot uk 2008-02-07 12:10 ------- There are two improvements described here:
1) avoid synchronization by the use of StringBuilder rather than StringBuffer this is some what trivial and has largely been carried out in the Classpath code base 2) switch to using a GCJ style string buffer that avoids copies this is still awaiting action -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21869
