Indeed!

It seems ArrayList.SubList delegates quite a few of its implementations
to AbstractList and AbstractCollection, which uses iterators for things
that could be done more efficiently with conventional for-loops.

This includes contains, equals, hashCode, indexOf, lastIndexOf... I saw
up to 7x improvements on some of these over the inherited
implementations when providing specialized ones for ImmutableList.SubList
as part of JDK-8193128

I'll file a bug and maybe even tinker with it when I find some time...
