Norman Maurer 790c63e8d2 Improve performance of Recycler
Motivation:

Recycler is used in many places to reduce GC-pressure but is still not as fast as possible because of the internal datastructures used.

Modification:

 - Rewrite Recycler to use a WeakOrderQueue which makes minimal guaranteer about order and visibility for max performance.
 - Recycling of the same object multiple times without acquire it will fail.
 - Introduce a RecyclableMpscLinkedQueueNode which can be used for MpscLinkedQueueNodes that use Recycler

These changes are based on @belliottsmith 's work that was part of #2504.

Result:

Huge increase in performance.

Netty Project

Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

How to build

For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.

You require the following to build Netty:

Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.

Branches to look

The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
