FastDateFormat

public class FastDateFormat extends DateFormat
Fast date formatter that caches recently formatted date information and uses it to avoid too-frequent calls to the underlying formatter. Note: breaks fieldPosition param of format(Date, StringBuffer, FieldPosition). If you care about the field position, call the underlying DateFormat directly.

Constructors Summary

Methods Summary
public java.lang.StringBufferformat(java.util.Date date, java.lang.StringBuffer toAppendTo, java.text.FieldPosition fieldPosition)
Note: breaks functionality of fieldPosition param. Also: there's a bug in SimpleDateFormat with "S" and "SS", use "SSS" instead if you want a msec field.
