             Summary: LookupTranslator performance optimization
                 Key: TEXT-153
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-153
             Project: Commons Text
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.0
            Reporter: Amir Hadadi


When using Java Mission Control to profile an application that uses 
StringEscapeUtils::escapeEcmaScript, I noticed that a lot of time is spent in 
LookupTranslator::translate at the prefixSet::contains check.

I suggest taking advantage of the fact that prefixSet contains only characters, 
and replace it with a BitSet.

I did some benchmarking and translate for the non escaped case is 4-5X faster 
when replacing the HashSet with a BitSet.

BitSet Memory consumption for characters is capped at 8KB, and depends on the 
maximal prefix character. For example for ECMA script the max escaped prefix 
character is "\" which has unicode code 92 so the BitSet uses a long array of 
length 2 to represent all the needed characters.
