I don't think the default classloaders do - not sure. Mainly used for applet classloaders. > i.e how much speedup does it really give? Large speedups if the classes are stored in multiple jar files and the file you are looking for is not in some of the files. Essentially the indexes are primarily used as a negative cahce. So if class not in index then don't download rest of jar just yet. > Does anyone have any quantitive data on the speedup?
