about Enum.values() memory allocation

[nezih yigitbasi]

Hi,
I recently noticed in our app that Enum.values() allocates a significant
amount of memory when called in a tight loop as it clones the constant
values array (which is probably for immutability, and I can understand
that). I found that the same issue has been discussed back in 2012:

Are there any plans to address this issue going forward?

Thanks!
