[jdom-interest] List's in JDOM - a small essay

[Rosen, Alex]

If you're not keeping any state in the FilterList, then looping forwards would
be just as problematic, no? Even more so if you didn't cache the size() value.

List foos = element.getChildren("foo");
for (int i=0; i < foos.size(); i++) {
	foos.get(i);
}

I think this is a *very* common way of doing things (more out of habit that out
of any real benefit over using an Iterator).

I agree with Joe's suggestion, that ArrayLists would likely perform better
overall. They'll certainly have better worst-case performance...
