>             Project: glazedlists
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: core
>    Affects Versions: 1.9.1
>            Reporter: reden

>            Priority: Critical

> ListEvent blocks are no longer useful unless a list contains contiguous duplicate values. This is due to logic in BlockSequence.addChange(int,int,int,E,E):
> {code:java}
>         // concatenate this change on to the previous one
>         } else if(lastChangedIndex == startIndex && lastType == type && oldValue == lastOldValue && newValue == lastNewValue) {
> {code}
> Now the values must match in addition to the index (i.e., contiguous change) in order for an event to be concatenated.
> The result of the this that...:
> {code:java}
> EventList<Integer> list = new BasicEventList();
> for( int i = 0; i < 10000; i++ ) {
>     list.add( Integer.valueOf( i ) );
> }
> list.clear();
> {code}
> ... the clear() will cause 10,000 events to be fired, which is obviously a huge performance hit in places where event handling is expensive.
