java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (build 1.2.2-L, green threads, javacomp)

print is implemented as:

class PrintWriter {
...

    public void print(char c) {
write(String.valueOf(c));
    }

Which creates a temporary java.lang.String and a char[] for every character
output. This dramatically slows output though a PrintWriter. The following
alternative implementation is equivalent and much faster:

    public void print (char c) {
        write (c);
    }
