Well, the java.nio obviously :-)

java.nio provides a java.nio.CharBuffer. A java.lang.StringBuffer is
synchronized. The CharBuffer is not. Since the JDBC driver uses strings
in a lot of places some code could be rewritten to increase performance.

And I think that Mark (pgsql(at)mohawksoft(dot)com) has a point. 90% of all
installations would get a performance boost if native byte order was
used. IMHO, it's all about an initial protocoll negotiation (which of
course must be done in network byte order).
