Motivation:
Just was looking through code and found 1 interesting place DateFormatter.tryParseMonth that was not very effective, so I decided to optimize it a bit.
Modification:
Changed DateFormatter.tryParseMonth method. Instead of invocation regionMatch() for every month - compare chars one by one.
Result:
DateFormatter.parseHttpDate method performance improved from ~3% to ~15%.
