I'd like to know what it's faster than too. The only other "fast" class is Commons Lang FastDateFormat. In their javadoc they say: "FastDateFormat is a fast and thread-safe version of SimpleDateFormat." I think the inference (taking a guess here) is that it's faster than SimpleDateFormat.
I agree with Gary. Unless we have a comparison to something else, I say the "fast" adjective is meaningless.
