Java performance urban legends
Pretty good article on Java performance "urban legends".
In summary...
- Urban performance legend #1: Synchronization is really slow
- Urban performance legend #2: Declaring classes or methods final makes them faster
- Urban performance legend #3: Immutable objects are bad for performance
Thanks to Demitrious for the link.
