Well, you answered my questions...they were mostly targeted to the Buffer classes, \
which look like they could be retrofitted to implement Collection interfaces. But, \
since, as you said, they run much better without implementing the List interface, it \
probably makes the most sense as it is.

Thanks,
Chris

Can you give an example of what you mean?

The Buffer classes can be optimized because they *don't* use the List
or Collection interface.  They have the FIFO buffer working nicely.
THat has a defined reason.

The BucketMap does implement the Map interface.

Which ones are you wanting to know about?
