> Hi,
> I am encountering a performance problem in ListOrderedSet.removeAll().
> It appears in version 3.2.1 and also in revision 1344775 (31 May
> 2012).  I have attached a test that exposes this problem and a
> one-line patch that fixes it.  On my machine, for this test, the patch
> provides a 317X speedup.
> To run the test, just do:
> $ java Test
> The output for the un-patched version is:
> Time is 3812
> The output for the patched version is:
> Time is 12
> As the patch shows, the problem is in 
> ListOrderedSet.remove(Object object).  The code for this method is:
> boolean result = collection.remove(object);
> setOrder.remove(object);
> return result;
> The patch changes it to :
> boolean result = collection.remove(object);
> if (result) setOrder.remove(object);
> return result;
> The "setOrder.remove(object)" is not necessary if 
> "collection.remove(object)" did not find the object.
> This small change speeds up
> ListOrderedSet.ListOrderedSet.removeAll(Collection<?> coll) because
> ListOrderedSet.ListOrderedSet.removeAll(Collection<?> coll) iterates
> over all the elements in "coll" and calls 
> ListOrderedSet.remove(Object object).  So the un-patched code has
> quadratic complexity, while the patched code has linear complexity.
> Is this truly a bug, or am I missing something here?  If so, can you
> please confirm if the patch is correct?
> Thanks,
> Adrian
