Nope. String overrides equals() to first check for object equivalence,
then checks whether the other object is a String, then whether they
have the same length, then checks the characters in the base array
until there is a mismatch. If there is no mismatch, it returns true,
otherwise false.

Do a "Browse Symbol" on java.lang.String to see for yourself.
