> Hi,
> I am encountering a performance problem in SetUniqueList.addAll().  It
> appears in revision 1351837 (19 June 2012).  I attached a test that
> exposes this problem and a patch that fixes it.  On my machine, for
> this test, the patch provides a 540X speedup.
> To run the test, just do:
> $ java Test
> The output for the un-patched version is:
> Time is 2706
> The output for the patched version is:
> Time is 5
> As the patch shows, the problem is that
> SetUniqueList.addAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> coll)
> performs:
> "add(index, e)" for each element in "coll". This is very expensive, 
> because each "add(index, e)" performs a 
> LinkedList.add(int index, E element), which requires traversing the 
> LinkedList to find the index.
> The patched version avoids this cost by inserting all the elements at
> once, thus performing only one insert.
> Is this a bug? If so, can you please confirm that the patch is
> correct?
> Thanks,
> Adrian
