Hi, Tony! > I've reported it to icu bug tracker, > http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/6027 Thanks for forwarding it. BTW, as I see in the microtest for that issue com.ibm.icu.util.SimpleTimeZone performs well. So, why not to use com.ibm.icu.util.*SimpleTimeZone* instead of com.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone in our java.util.SimpleTimeZone implementation? This will eliminate the problematic call and solve part of the performance problems mentioned in HARMONY-5122 [1].
