   Although exceptions have become faster, and you can speed them up (overwrite stack generation code), they are slow mostly due to filling the stack trace. Mostly based on this: http://www.javaspecialists.eu/archive/Issue187.html

   I would encourage you to do that post. Because the two documents you linked to are very unconvincing when placed beside David MacIver's essay. The first link ( http://www.javaspecialists.eu/archive/Issue187.html ) says the code was hard to understand, that this is the 'wrong' way to use exceptions, that reusing a normal exception type instead of an exception intended for control-flow might mask other exceptions, and…

    > I cringe every single time I see a for loop for what System.arraycopy () has been providing since early days. The worst thing is, that System.arraycopy() is an optimized JNI call which is much faster than copying it by hand [1]. > For better or worse, it shows me that the author isn't that into Java. The thing is though, most of the time arrays in Java are used because of performance. Or maybe ignorance. Because w…
