Would also be interesting to see Scanner's results on the same tests you ran on String.Split and StringTokenizer.

Gave me an answer to another question: "why is use of StringTokenizer discouraged, as stated in the Java API notes?". From this text it seems that the answer would be "because String.split() is fast enough".

So is StringTokenizer pretty much deprecated now?

I realize it's an answer to an old question, but if I need to split a huge text stream into tokens on the fly, isn't StringTokenizer still my best bet because String.split() will simply run out of memory?
