Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right list, as it's sort of a development question too, but I don't want to bother them over there. Anyway, I'm curious as to the reason for using "manual memory management" a la ByteBlockPool and consorts in Java. Is it for performance reasons alone, to avoid the allocation and garbage collection of many small objects or is there some residue of C-style thinking in the early years?
Even then, shouldn't there be a more Java-ish solution using the existing streams classes? Would that be the way to go if one started over? I realize this is not very realistic, I'm asking out of curiosity.
