No need for red/white tape for me, but I'm lucky.

Is this really worth a flame?

I agree that pools have some advantages, and sometimes "new" has some advantages ... well and thats it
Each technique has its use-cases and advantages or disadvantages.

My hope is that someday soon stack-allocation will be implemented in hotspot, but as some Sun engineers statet this means many changes to the hotspot-jvm on various places so ... well ... I still hope
