I'm not sure the relevance. Most of the discussion is centered around 
Lucene's implementation of a PriorityQueue, not the one in commons. The 
commons PriorityQueue seemed only mentioned in the contxt of the 
possibility of evaluating commons' version. Was there ever follow up
with 
an actual evaluation of the Commons version? I tried searching for more 
follow ups, but didn't find anything particular to the commons version.

- I don't know much about PriorityQueues, but somebody who seems to know
more described the implementation in Lucene distribution as a clever
one, so I thought that somebody who knows about it, such as you, may be
able to take a quick look at Lucene's impl. and see if there is
something clever in it and use it in Commons' PriorityQueue impl, or
perhaps disagree with that statement.

in any case, I'm going to commit my changes. If anyone has an objection,
just -1 my commit, and I'll back out the changes.

- I have no Commons karma, I was just trying to help, hoping that
multiple implementations of the same ADT can be eliminated and merged in
a single impl.
