Description

I modified the Entry.clone() method so that we don't deep clone the entry, but only the Map containing the Attributes. The unit tests are all passing, and the performance boost is clear.

We never need to clone everything, we never modify anything in an Attribute. (And if so, it's up to the code doing that to be sure it does not modify the entry).
