java.util.Date.toString() very slow -- why?

[Adam Megacz]

The following code takes 1:35 using 3.1-branch and 0:02 with
HotSpot. Any ideas why?

  - a

import java.util.*;
public class test {
    public static void main(String[] s) throws Exception {
        for(int i=0; i<200; i++) System.out.println(new Date());
    }
}
