FastWriter keeps a pool of FastWriter instances, doesn't it?  I know  
it did, maybe that got removed for 2.0?  Or are you saying that the  
pooling is broken and FastWriter.getInstance() always returns new  
instances.

Okay, the pool stuff has been ripped out of FastWriter.   
Interesting.  Since this is the now the case, I see no need for any  
of the .reset() business.  You're absolutely right, there's no point  
in re-allocating a smaller byte[] if the FastWriter instance is about  
to be gc'd.  I say get rid of it.
