Description

Attached is modified version of LRUCache where
1. map = new LinkedHashMap(initialSize, 0.75f, false) - so that "reordering"/true (performance bottleneck of LRU) is replaced to "insertion-order"/false (so that it became FIFO)
2. Almost all (absolutely unneccessary) synchronized statements commented out

See discussion at http://www.nabble.com/LRUCache---synchronized%21--td16439831.html

Performance metrics (taken from SOLR Admin):

LRU
Requests: 7638
Average Time-Per-Request: 15300
Average Request-per-Second: 0.06

FIFO:
Requests: 3355
Average Time-Per-Request: 1610
Average Request-per-Second: 0.11

Performance increased 9 times which roughly corresponds to a number of CPU in a system, http://www.tokenizer.org/ (Shopping Search Engine at Tokenizer.org)
