Is JDK 1.4 going to get Velocity running faster?

  Reflective Method Invocation 

  One powerful feature of the Java programming language 
  is the ability to dynamically look up and call methods. 
  The key constructs for doing this are contained in the 
  java.lang.reflect package. In J2SE 1.4, the mechanism 
  that implements these features has been reimplemented 
  for dramatically improved performance. The chart below 
  shows the relative performance on a simple benchmark 
  that repeatedly calls small methods - performance is 
  improved by a factor of 20! 


UAU!... "performance is improved by a factor of 20!"!!!

Which means the original implementation was probably 
quite sh*ty, of course.


Have fun,
Paulo Gaspar
