Creating and loading a Properties file is significantly slower on 1.4 (beta_refresh build 76) than 1.3.1.

My machine:
SunOS zoz 5.7 Generic_106541-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

I've attached a test case, pass in an arg gives the number of times to load the properties file. I've also attached the properties file I used, which is one of the property files swing loads.
Running it with an arg of 1 on 1.3.1 results in a time of 7, and 1.4 a time of 110. Part of this discrepency is likely because of the additional classes in 1.4. Running it with an arg of 100 on 1.3.1 results in a best time of 205, vs 450 on 1.4.

Note: This may in fact be a bug in io/nio but is manifesting itself in loading of properties files.
