JDK-4261803 - Need an unsynchronized StringBuffer
Description

Name: ml70278			Date: 11/24/99


To improve performance in the core APIs and allow the development of efficient 
custom classes, we need to have non-synchronized versions of the important 
Java.lang and java.util classes such as StringBuffer. This is following the 
same model used in the new Java2 collection classes.

Comments
EVALUATION This may also help the compiler generate more efficient code for string concatenation. See 4294620. william.maddox@Eng 1999-12-17 We have a plan to make this possible for StringBuffer in Tiger. I'm closing this bug as a duplicate, other classes will be handled on a case by case basis but the resistance to this is high because of compatibility concerns and limited resources. ###@###.### 2003-02-11
