Yes - that is a performance optimisation. I don't think comparing everything by value makes or breaks the implementation.

Nothing much to think -- distinct objects must have distinct references [e.g. new String("a")!=new String("a')], literals must have the same references for the same values [e.g. "a"=="a"].

Why does it break the implementation, other than performance?
