immutable BigInteger



Not OS X specific. But anyhow, I thought the list was supposed to allow more general java development discussion these days.
Does anyone have a good explanation for why BigInteger needs to be immutable? Or know where such a good explanation might be read?
I think sometimes for highly iterative computational code you can get both better memory management and speed if you avoid the immutable inherent in BigInteger.
But there might be something I'm missing as to why this isn't a good idea, so before I put a lot more time into figuring out how to get around BigInteger?
