The code in question was changed a few times since then, the last change was done by the https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/2102. So currently the code for string.getBytes String/Charset uses the same code paths, except that the string version has an additional call to lookup the charset. The string version: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/66d1faa7847b645f20ab2e966adf0a523e3ffeb2/src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/String.java#L1753 The charset version: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/66d1faa7847b645f20ab2e966adf0a523e3ffeb2/src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/String.java#L1777 I checked the performance and the charset is always faster, depending on the string size, up to x20. @cl4es please confirm my observation since you did it already for https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/2102 ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5063
