----------------------------------------------------------------
Was it to avoid a perforance impact of casting or only for cleaner code?
Because the generic version of PQ does noch change anything, the resulting byte
code is identical (you can compare that with a decompilation using JAD). The
casts are added by the Java Compiler automatically.
The lessThan method is covariant overloaded (passed through) in subclasses by
javac (like in the test): lessThan(Integer, Integer) will appear as such in the
class byte code of the subclass, but javac will add lessThan(Object, Object)
that delgates to the covariant overload (which may be a small perf impact). It
is called by the compiled code of PQ using the (Object, Object) signature (PQ
does not know anything about generics in its byte code).

> Priority Queue should use generics like all other Java 5 Collection API
> classes. This very simple, but makes code more readable.
