hasNonDeletedEntries doesn't call allSubGroups anymore, but deleteGroupImpl does. Are you sure that it's unaffected by this change?</pre>

The isGroupOrSubGroupMatch also takes the parentGroup into account. So I don't have to add it upfront, it will be added later on. If I mess with that function to exclude the parent group, the unit tests start to fail:

so again, I'm pretty confident that this patch is fine.</pre>

Before, these kind of read-only operations did a lot of allocations:

1) allocate a list of all sub groups
2) for the above, also allocate a sub-group match key
3) iterate over sub groups, allocate a list of all keys in there
and then finally check whether that list is non-empty

All of the above is now done without a single allocation, by simply
iterating over the list of entries.

Note: The whole list was iterated even before in allSubGroups. Now
we still do that, but check for non-empty keys in the group or
sub group directly. Much more efficient.

Note2: While at it, a duplicate comparison in keyListImpl is removed.
Furthermore, allSubGroups is also optimized to not require the
allocation of the subgroup match key.</pre>
