That page also said not to use native methods for trivial computation.
In my experience the Java Calendar and Date objects are expensive and
memory hungry. Avoid them, including their DateFormatters, whenever
possible. That being said, it probably shouldn't matter much unless
you are performing many calculations in a loop. So the only real time
to consider avoiding them, I guess, is when you are investigating
performance problems.
