The reason for starting this line of enquiry: I have been developing an Ultra High Frequency trading system in Java. In this environment 100 microseconds from packet-in to packet-out measured externally would be consider reasonable but not great. I have ended up re-writing some portions of the core libraries to support these latency requirements. In many case a 3x to 10x speed improvement was achieved. (This speed improvement was achieved using custom solutions which may not be general enough to include in the core libraries) I am looking to use the experience I have gain to improve the core libraries rather than just writing replacements.
Instead of raising bugs, I thought it better to learn the process first. I don't particularly care which bug I try first. Is this a good bug to start with? Regards, Peter.
