> {{FastDateParser}} uses {{DateFormatSymbols.getZoneStrings()}} to construct a
> table of all possible timezone names to be used in parsing date patterns in
> pattern layouts.
> Unfortunately the above call (and the equivalent call used by the JDK's
> {{SimpleDateFormat)}} causes initialization and caching of all timezones,
> resulting in a ~3MB heap overhead on x86_64. The following table summarizes
> the cost of triggering the caching of all timezones, including the number of
> instances of some related types and the amount of extra heap required.
>
> || ||LocalDateTime||LocalDate||ZoneInfo||ZoneOffset||Heap delta||
> |Baseline (no TZ calls)|180|0|0| | |
> |Single timezone|180|0|0|0|298|
> |DateFormatSymbols.getZoneStrings()|57076|32212|602|1455|3760106|
> |TimeZone.getAvailableIds() + TimeZone.getName()|36678|21674|632|1155|3024946|
> |TimeZone.getAvalableIDs()|180|0|632|0|452578|
> By avoiding constructions of such tables, and relying only on
> {{{}FastDateParser{}}}'s support for RFC-822 and GMT-style timezone names, we
> can avoid allocating the extra heap.
