22ns might be about 100 processor instructions. Somehow I doubt that any programming language can parse 50 strings in 100 instructions, let alone with naive code.

You are right.

I have said something very wrong. Java may be fast but it isn't magic.

What I claimed is not possible and I should have realized that.

I can not correct my previous claim. I wish HN had longer edit windows and I wish HN allowed you to downvote older comments.

I cannot erase this wrong info
