<i18n dev> RFR: JDK-8282625 Formatter caches Locale/DecimalFormatSymbols poorly [v3]

[Jim Laskey]

> Several attempts have been made to improve Formatter's numeric performance by caching the current Locale zero. Such fixes, however, ignore the real issue, which is the slowness of fetching DecimalFormatSymbols. By directly caching DecimalFormatSymbols in the Formatter, this enhancement streamlines the process of accessing Locale DecimalFormatSymbols and specifically getZeroDigit(). The result is a general improvement in the performance of numeric formatting.
