-------------------------------------------

Interesting work :)

I must admit that when I saw your very first patch ( the missing <<20), and had 
a look at this atrocious switch I though "man, there should be a way to get 
this code better and faster" !. But I was short on time, so I just applied the 
patch ...

Now, looking at your second patch, I'm wondering if something like :

    protected static int normalizeCapacity( int requestedCapacity ) {
        if (requestedCapacity < 0) {
            return Integer.MAX_VALUE;
        }

        int newCapacity = Integer.highestOneBit(requestedCapacity);
        newCapacity <<= (newCapacity < requestedCapacity ? 1 : 0);
        return (newCapacity < 0 ? Integer.MAX_VALUE : newCapacity);
    } 

would not do the trick in for lines ?

Ar you interested in testing it, and check the kind of performance you get out 
of it ? On mu Mac book pro, your test using the old method took 4444ms/5031ms, 
the new one takes 696ms/668ms, which represent 6 to 7 times improvments...

Thanks a lot for investigating the code !

Btw, there is some missing part of code in your patch, the

> The technique of computing the minimum power of 2 that is bigger than the 
> requestedCapacity in the 
> org.apache.mina.core.buffer.IoBuffer.normalizeCapacity() is not optimal.
> The current computation is as follows:
>  int newCapacity = 1;
>         while ( newCapacity < requestedCapacity )  {
>             newCapacity <<= 1;
>             if ( newCapacity < 0 )   {
>                 return Integer.MAX_VALUE;
>             }
>         }
> The time complexity of this is O(n), where n is the number of bits of the 
> requestedCapacity integer, that is log2(requestedCapacity) - maximum 31.
> This creates an unnecessary overhead in some high IoBuffer allocations 
> scenarios that are calling IoBuffer.normalizeCapacity() a lot when creating 
> IoBuffers. I observed this when benchmarking a MINA server with hprof.
> There is a better solution to this problem than to iterate the bits from 0 to 
> log2(requestedCapacity).
> The alternative is to use a binary search technique that has optimal time 
> complexity of O(5). Because requestedCapacity is an integer and has a maximum 
> of 2^5 (32) bits we can binary search in the set of bits and determine in 
> O(5) comparisons the minimum power of 2 that is bigger than the 
> requestedCapacity.
