Henri Yandell commented on LANG-604:
------------------------------------

I'm not sure I buy that most of the strings checked are untrimmed.

I'd expect most to be either a) blank or b) normal user input. If the first 
character is whitespace; then I could believe that it's untrimmed.

So:

+    public static boolean isBlank(CharSequence cs) { 
+        int strLen;
+        if (cs == null || (strLen = cs.length()) == 0) {
+            return true;
+        }
+        // Optimized - check first character
+        if (!Character.isWhitespace(cs.charAt(0))) {
+            return false;
+        }
+        // Optimized - starts in the middle and works out with the assumption 
that 
+        // most input starting with whitespace are untrimmed strings
+        for (int m = 1 + strLen / 2, i = 1; m < strLen; m++, i++) {
+            if (!Character.isWhitespace(cs.charAt(m)) || 
!Character.isWhitespace(cs.charAt(i))) {
+                return false;
+            }
+        }
+        return true;
+    }

Any thoughts?

> Change isBlank() to start iteration in the middle of the String.
> So you get better performance for untrimmed Strings like "   dummy   ".
> Here is my proposal:
> public static boolean isBlank(CharSequence cs) {
>   int strLen;
>   if (cs == null || (strLen = cs.length()) == 0) {
>     return true;

>   int mid = strLen / 2, i = mid;
>   for (; i < strLen; i++) {
>     if (!Character.isWhitespace(cs.charAt(i))) {
>       return false;
>     }
