Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-1497:
------------------------------------

If I understand you correctly, you propose to change the code to:
preTag + originalText + postTag.
That creates 2 (or 3) StringBuffers actually. Java implements + by allocating a 
StringBuffer and appending both Strings to it.
What I propose is to create the StringBuffer large enough from the beginning 
such that there won't be additional allocations.

> I'd like to make few minor changes to SimpleHTMLFormatter.
> 1. Define DEFAULT_PRE_TAG and DEFAULT_POST_TAG and use them in the default 
> constructor. This will not trigger String lookups by the JVM whenever the 
> highlighter is instantiated.
> 2. Create the StringBuffer in highlightTerm with the right number of 
> characters from the beginning. Even though StringBuffer's default constructor 
> allocates 16 chars, which will probably be enough for most highlighted terms 
> (pre + post tags are 7 chars, which leaves 9 chars for terms), I think it's 
> better to allocate SB with the right # of chars in advance, to avoid char[] 
> allocations in the middle.
