Adrian,
How about getting FlexibleProperties to implement Map, in addition to
Properties?

I believe we could really improve the performance of OFBiz if we cached
FastMap instances instead of java.util.Properties instances. That would
require a slight change in the UtilProperties API -
UtilProperties.getProperties(...) would return a Map instance instead of
a Properties instance.
Doing so wouldn't have a large impact on the existing code base - there
are only a handful of places where UtilProperties.getProperties(...) is
called. The problem would be legacy installations - custom code that
calls UtilProperties.getProperties(...) would break.
Should I change the existing method signature, or add the new methods
and deprecate the old ones?
