Guava Charmatcher static initialization slow

UPDATE: It looks like my 13.0.1 is calling code from this diffed CharMatcher.

Answer 1

As a quick help, try to switch to the newest version from the source repo. There are changes there, e.g. the method slowGetChars is gone. It used to be a bit slow, but nowhere near what's happening to you.

For everybody else it runs some hundred times faster and without being able to reproduce it it's hard to help.
