Shouldn't it be "translatorCache.put(encoding, result);" ?
Or it should be cached at all - what is the role of charMapping
argument - should it be include in cache key ?

The reason of slowdown is double memory allocations above:
- first is "new char[]"
- second is during "new String" - the char[] is copied into the String

Without pooling the shared char[] is used and only new String is
allocated.

Probably we can use the String constructor:

public String(byte bytes[], int offset, int length, String charsetName)

Though it can be slower than internal implementation.
