[jdom-interest] Speed/memory Improvement from b8 to b9 but no 1.1.x support

[Rolf Lear]

Just to remind people that the memory leak had nothing to do with JDom. It
is a bug in the 1.4.x Java VM StringBuffer class that Users of JDom b8
happened to encounter. JDom b9 implemented a work-aound to the bug.

So, really, the speed improvements are a good thing, and the Memory leaks,
well that was just shoddy work by Sun.

Hear! Hear!

Of course, along with the speed and memory utilization, 
web applications no longer require us to restart the web 
app serer every 3 hours due to the b8 memory leakages. 

In one case tomcat has been running continuously since b9-rc2 
without needing a restart yet! In another case 0c4j instead
of tomcat.

SAXBuilder.build of an existing 120kb XML would take 1.5s and 31MB of memory
using b8.  With b9, the load time dropped to <0.1s and memory footprint is
~500KB.  Kudos to the JDOM for major tweaking/bugfixing.
