I see a 20% performance gain on server vm if switch to pure char[] based encoding and then use the sharedSecrets to avoid the copy. The dis-advantage is (1) have to use the sharedSecrets and (2) can't share the same between the encode(byte[]) and encode(String).

Anyway it appears to be an alternative for performance improvement.

I wonder if there would be advantage in using a SharedSecrets mechanism to allow construction of a String directly from a char array. The intermediate byte array seems wasteful especially for what is likely to be a heavily used path.

Webrev has been updated with following changes (1) added a pair of en/decode(ByteBuffer src, ByteBuffer dst) methods (2) some minor spec clarification regarding the "end of decoding" (3) performance tuning. webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/4235519/webrev some performance scores: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/4235519/score3 -Sherman
