Java.util.Formatter vs. java.text.MessageFormat

Question

Hi,
Which formatter is faster java.text.MessageFormat or java.util.Formatter?
At the moment I format all my strings with java.text.MessageFormat, however I want to speed-up the formatting of the strings that I log, so I though of using java.util.Formatter instead.
Is there a benchmark that compares between those formatters?

Why do you day those 2 doesn't do the same thing? They format messages using parameters the user passes.A 747 and a dump truck both do the same thing: move people and cargo from one place to another. But people have been known to express strong preferences for one or the other, depending on their circumstances. They usually have pretty good reasons for their choices.
No I didn't used a profiler. It just an hunch.Never trust hunches, especially when it comes to performance questions. You'll end up making a fool of yourself every time.
