Holy shit! This is a *HUGE* bug. We (and Xerces) use StringBuffers all over the place!!! In fact, it seems that StringBuffer.toString() is our hotspot.
I'll come up with more profile information soon.
Why don't you switch to 1.3.1?
Oh, sure, I can. But many people will run it out of the box with the latest and greatest JVM and complain to *US* that their memory footprint is sky-high.
we must make sure we tell people when we release.
For that matter, 1.4.0 would behave just OK (infact someone is simply replacing the StringBuffer class in the rt.jar file with the 1.4.0 counterpart... scary :-)).
I thought about doing it. I admit :)
Yet it would be *much* better have a 1.4.1.x out RSN to fix this important issue.
Hopefully.
