Hi, all
I've done some test, but can not see the difference of ArrayList and Vector, anyone who has some better suggestion?

Vectors are always the prefered data structure as internally it implements arrays.

(Copy of an answer I posted in a different forum)
The simple answer: ArrayList is faster
Why? Vector has been around longer and developed into a sort of be-all do-all class with synchronization and support for many different API. ArrayList is a straitforward implementation of a List with no whistles or bells.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
