Although at the end of that mail 
(http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2009-July/002168.html)
I mentioned that there are several less dramatic
changes to the current implementation that seem worthwhile.
In case anyone is interested, a preliminary version with those
changes, that I put together shortly afterward is at
http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/wwwtmp/HashMapV6.java
One of these days/weeks/months I hope to re-check for further
possible improvements and consider committing.
