> I'd like to propose the following changes to NameImpl in jackrabbit-jcr-commons:
> 1) Don't intern the namespace string. Most often the namespace string is in any case coming from a namespace registry, so there aren't that many copies of the same strings lying around. Also, I don't think the performance impact on NameImpl.equals() is significant even if there are multiple copies of the same namespace string.
> 2) Don't memorize the hash code. Since String already memorizes its hash code, the cost of NameImpl.hashCode() is just a few bytecode instructions. I don't think the performance benefit is worth the extra complexity and memory overhead.
> 3) Don't memoize the string representation. NameImpl.toString() method is typically only invoked when debugging or when serializing name values. In both cases the CPU overhead of recreating the string is insignificant and IMHO not worth the memory overhead .
> I'll attach the patch.
