I've submitted a couple of RFEs to support some simple optimizations on Streams. I noticed both issues while writing some code that forced me to choose between cluttering up my straightforward, uniform Stream logic and eating the cost of linear operations that should be O(1).
JDK-8067969 Optimize Stream.count for SIZED Streams JDK-8067971 Support optimizations for always-true and always-false Predicates Certainly not high-priority, but would be nice for somebody working with java.util.stream to address someday. —Dan
