[jdom-interest] Performance when adding lots of Elements

[mark.stephens at ukonline.co.uk]

I have a List object which I create from an XMLObject using jdom. I add a lot 
of items to this, and performance seems slow. ANy tips on performance of set 
over add methods or general comments on performance.

Essentially, I am creating an empty object and then adding lots of elements.
