What is Java actually doing I wonder? -T. As I said before things have improved. intern() is now native so there is really no excuse that I can think of why it should still be slow (it is not as slow as it used to be but calling it has roughly half the cost of calling new() now). Nevertheless, the String class should of had a static intern() method a long time ago that accepts a character array. Boy would it have been convenient...
