Not having benchmarked either approach I can hardly disagree :) Object 
creation is a real bugbear in our app so I tend to reflexively avoid it 
where I can, even when the direct CPU benefit is dubious.

I can only speculate, since the java profiling tools are so bad -- I'm 
yet to get a good CPU profile out of this bit of code. It all *seems* 
fairly cheap so I can only guess that it's an accumulation of many small 
operations along the way. Object creation doesn't seem to be the root of 
the problem, as even with heap settings that avoid GCing frequently it's 
chewing CPU the whole time, not just during GCs.
I should really do some more profiling of this area, I've just been 
avoiding it because it's so painful to do..
