> When we moved from Java 4 to Java 5 (and then 6), there was a change in the 
> JVM semantics such that references to a class such as IntWritable.class no 
> longer forces initialization. Since all of the Writables depend on their 
> class static blocks to register their fast comparators, that can happen 
> *after* we look up the comparator. In that case, the framework will fall back 
> to the generic comparator that deserializes both keys and does the object 
> compare, which may cause a huge slow down in the sort.
