I just run the following test:
<cfset javaArray = CreateObject("java", "java.util.ArrayList").Init()/>
<cfset regArray = arrayNew(1)>
<cfset arrayResize(regArray,100000)>
<!--- <cfset arrayResize(javaArray,100000)> --->
<cftimer label="Test Java Array" type="outline">
<cfloop index="m" from="1" to="100000" step="1">
<cfset javaArray[m] = m>
</cfloop>
</cftimer>
<cftimer label="Test ColdFusion Array" type="outline">
<cfloop index="k" from="1" to="100000" step="1">
<cfset regArray[k] = k>
</cfloop>
</cftimer>
And a) CF array runs faster due to the benefits of the resize (otherwise the
run time is similar)
b) your version of the array is not supported by the resize, so your array
is not 100% like regular CF array with additional benefit of passing by
reference. One would now have to check a lot more about your array version
to figure out what it supports and what it doesn't support.

Sometimes I find it makes the code run faster ;)
