java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle is static synchronized

Name: ccC48265 Date: 12/23/97


Would it be possible to unsynchonize the method in java.util.ResourceBundle?
i.e.

     private static synchronized ResourceBundle
        getBundle(String baseName, Locale locale, ClassLoader loader)
        throws MissingResourceException

We noticed in our server-side app that this can be a hot point of contention
if one is allocating a lote of Date or formatting objects that require
ResourceBundles.

Maybe it would be possible to break this method down in sub-parts that
require synchronization and allow the "main execution" flow to go through
unsynchronized.
