Optimized Syncronized list?
Recently i noticed that Collections.synchronizedList(List) implementation was based on a "simple" synchronize block wrapping delegated calls to original List.
This suprised me as i was expecting something better than Vector implementation. (which is also based on synchronized blocks).
In my opinion, this implementation is not the best as it doesn't allow simultaneous calls to "read" methods.
I wrote a synchronizedlist wrapper allowing simultaneaous read calls.
My impl has better performances (about a factor 3-4) while doing as many read/write operations.
So, here is my question.
Why is the current implementation this way, and do you know if it is going to change ?
