Bjarne, Could you define 'considerably' in some ANSI units? ;-)
I have just recently dealt with this problem. The empirical data that I got appears to suggest that there's a (more or less) constant delta in performance of ~2-3ms, which only makes a difference for relatively small payloads. For more or less real-life scenarios HttpClient should be at least as fast or faster than HttpUrlConnection http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=httpclient-commons-dev&m=109300858528261&w=2 I'll re-run the tests to see if this change does result in noticeable performance gains and poke around the Java source code to see if there's indeed a reason for PushbackInputStream#unread to be slower than BufferedInputStream#reset Thanks Oleg On Wed, 2004-09-01 at 18:27, Bjarne Rasmussen wrote: > We found a small performance discrepancy between Java's > HttpURLConnection and HttpClient.
