Fortunately the judge is well aware that it's boilerplate
code with no performance enhancing features whatsoever.

The jury might be taken in by that misrepresentation though.

Efficiency is exactly what they're claiming.

Oracle's claim is not about the efficiency of the code, but rather that copying
the code allowed them to bring android to market faster than not copying the
code would have.

That is: Infringing increased the efficiency of the development cycle.

(not saying that this is a strong argument here, with intellisense like
functionality that method would have taken all of ~5 seconds to write and
another 10 to write unit tests)
