Well, even when the program is spending more time in other tasks, why
use a slow class when you can easily replace it with a faster one that
does the same thing?

And about the synchronization: in many cases, when you need
synchronization, you will need to synchronize something more than just
the Collection manipulation. And if the Collection handling is already
within a synchronized block, why use one more synchronization block
inside another one?
