I probably wouldn't use these collections in a factory context. If I'm 
concerned about speed and size, I'm going to create the primitive collection 
using the constructor and then use it directly. Adding in any factories, AOP, 
etc. is just going to add overhead. 

The original issue is really whether or not the commons library is still active 
or if Trove is a better choice. I'd say either library will work and I've used 
both. Another thing to think about is your comfort with licenses. I prefer ASL 
over LGPL as a rule of thumb and Trove is LGPL. I tend to avoid anything with 
the letters G, P and L in the license. But if you can find something with BSD, 
that's the way to go.
