[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (SECURITY-787) Speed up SimpleRole#equals

Speed up SimpleRole#equals -------------------------- Key: SECURITY-787 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SECURITY-787 Project: PicketBox Issue Type: Patch Components: JBossSX Reporter: Philippe Marschall Assignee: Stefan Guilhen Fix For: PicketBox_4_9_0.Beta1 We did some profiling of our JBoss AS instance and {{SimpleRole#equals(Object)}} showed up as a hot method. A lot of time seems to be spent in {{java.lang.Class.cast(Object)}}. Switching to a normal Java cast should fix this since we're inside an {{instanceof}} and it always succeeds.
