hmm... I tried to putting a standard title on this email. It looks like we all suffer from too much email. So I repeat what I said earlier.
All, I took a look at this code. I vote for keeping it. The reason is because Java is string intensive and historically things like string compression make a difference to heap footprint and cache miss performance. It looks like a significant amount of work has already been put in this code. Craig, It would be great if you can work on this code and get it going. I would be happy to work with you to get the mods committed to Harmony svn. On 9/22/06, Alexey Varlamov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
