> Considerable performance gains can be achieved by avoiding the use of array splice when adding/removing items from the start or end of the source array in ArrayList.
> eg/ in ArrayList.addItemAt, replace this:
> {code}
> source.splice(index, 0, item);
> {code}
> with this:   
> {code} 
> if (index == length)
>     source.push(item);
> else if (index == 0)
>     source.unshift(item);
> else
>     source.splice(index, 0, item);
> {code}
> ArrayList.addItem is 10x faster when adding non IEventDispatcher's, and 6x faster for IEventDispatcher's. There is a small trade-off when performing random access add/removes, where the extra logic slightly increases the times taken. 
> Since ArrayCollection wraps an ArrayList by default and ArrayCollection.addItem is used extensively within our apps, this patch has provided considerable performance improvements.
