  Hi

  I did some search and replace on my JavaRecognizer.java file (from java.g) to gain speed and memory - it seems to work in my tests.

  Maybe someone can confirm that this optimization is indeed correct.

  I defined a variable:
  private static final ASTPair NULL_PAIR = new ASTPair();

  And replaced all occurences of 'new ASTPair()' with '(inputState.guessing==0)?new ASTPair():NULL_PAIR;'

  This makes garbage collector very happy and makes program a bit faster too.
