Hi,

Wanted to get reviews and feedback on this performance improvement for 
reading from JAR/ZIP files during classloading by reducing unnecessary 
copying and reading the entry in one go instead of in small portions. 
This shows a significant improvement when reading a single entry and for 
a large application with 10k classes and 500+ JAR files it improved the 
startup time by 4%.

For more details on the background and performance results please see 
the RFE entry.

Cheers,
