Warnings Cleanup in java.util.<various> (more from hack day)

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi Sherman,

I think the original patch provider (Prasanna) was aiming at simply
removing the deprecation warning.  Interesting point on the performance
aspect!

Is performance for this class already measured in an OpenJDK test
somewhere?  Perhaps we could provide a test suite in this instance?

Cheers,
Martijn
