A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
URLEncoder.encode shows severely degraded performance when
run concurrently by several threads.


REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the attached program under 1.4.1_02.

Using the 2-parameter encode() method will show similar
results (although you won't be able to compare with 1.3.1's
behaviour).

You can also observe this by trying to run a multi-threaded
test on Jakarta JMeter. See
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11369 for
details.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected:

$ time ~/jdk1.3.1/bin/java URLEncode

real
0m2.424s
user
0m1.040s
sys
0m0.100s

Actual:

$ time ~/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/java URLEncode

real
0m12.108s
user
0m5.330s
sys
0m0.290s


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
