*i have a question please make me correct if i am wrong :-* if we compare FastMap Vs HashMap,
*FastMap is faster than HashMap so long as the map is long lived and relatively predictable in size. If you try to use it as a short-lived general replacement for HashMap it may very well kill your performance. *I found these lines some where in Google. so does it mean that we should use HashMap for local variables ? Also please explain me the performance issue if we use HashMap rather then FastMap. Thanks for suggestion. -- Sumit Pandit
