Description

ByteBufferUtil.bytesToHex() is unnecessarily slow - it doesn't pre-size the StringBuilder (so several re-sizes will be needed behind the scenes) and it makes quite a few method calls per byte.

(OK, this may be a premature optimisation, but I couldn't resist, and it's a small change)

Will attach patch shortly that speeds it up by about x3, plus benchmarking test.
