[j-devel] ZipCache.java: an attempt to speed up loading

[Erik H. <eh...@gm...>]

Attached is a patch which implements a ZipCache class: an attempt to
speed up our loading.

In one of the profiles that I ran over the past days,
File.lastModified() consumed up an awful lot of time. With this patch,
it's now off the list of hot spots. However: does it really matter, I
mean, is loading really faster?

Could you try it and tell me your findings? If there's no speed up,
there's no reason for the added complexity.

Bye,

Erik.
