Create a standard java.awt.List object.
Add a significant number of items to the list(400+)
Using JDK1.1.3, adding 400 items to a List object takes only 2 seconds,
with JDK1.1.4, it takes a bit over 60 seconds.

Here is the code I used:

import java.awt.*;

public class ListTest2 extends Frame {

  private List list;

  public ListTest2() {
    list = new List();
    
    this.add(list, BorderLayout.CENTER);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    ListTest2 lt = new ListTest2();

    lt.pack();
    lt.show();
    lt.buildList();
    System.exit(0);
  }

  public void buildList() {
    System.out.println("Update Started");
    list.addItem("David");
