Peter, Tom,
There are 63 files where I found size() in the for loop (using grep,
so obviously I need to go over each case to double check).
Do you see any problem with moving all of them out of the for loop?
I also saw (at least once) where the code "manually" creates an
Object[] from a collection. Do you see a problem if I replace it
with toArray() call?
While it's a lot of changes, I can make them before Monday so that
we can try to run them with performance benchmarks and see if it
makes a difference.
What do you think?
thanks,
-marina
