Thank you. I wasn't aware of it. It is not exactly what I meant, though. The above Java code preallocates some low Integers, that are likely to be encountered in actual programs. It obviously doesn't help at all when you happen to use other numbers. What I'd rather like to have is an array of N preallocated objects waiting to be assigned values and used. This way an allocation cycle could be triggered every N Integer constructor calls and all boxes used in a single procedure would be gathered in one place.
