EVALUATION The slowdown observed in some applications was triggered by the two new methods in LocaleData that were added for 4236976. Before the change, LocaleData was only loaded if you called getAvailableLocales for one of the java.text/java.util classes. Now it gets loaded if you access any of the resource bundles in sun.text.resources, which is a lot more common. Fixed by changing getAvailableLocales to calculate the locale list only when needed. norbert.lindenberg@Eng 2000-08-17
