Hi Jeff,
Home grown loops are not the best way of micro-benchmarking (have done
it myself and learned it). JIT can sometimes optimize the code so
aggressively that performance differences you obtain from such
benchmarks just show that your concrete program can be optimized better
and not that an average program using some function you are trying to
measure can run faster too.
I suggest you try to express your benchmark in a tried framework like JMH:
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/jmh/
In particular I suggest studying included samples.
Regards, Peter

Can you post the benchmark source?
Before the source, here are the time ranges runs were stabilizing in
for lucky executions (using 1.7 for compiler compliance level, and
win7 / core i7) :
| original | peter7 | peter7 | peter8 | peter8 |
| | | no loop | | no loop |
---------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+
jdk7u51 | 0.56-59s | 0.66-68s | 0.62-64s | 0.60-63s | 0.70-74s |
jdk8u20 | 0.54-58s | 0.64-66s | 0.58-60s | 0.58-61s | 0.73-76s |
jdk9 | 0.59-61s | 0.65-67s | 0.73-75s | 0.60-63s | 0.76-78s |
=> The no-loop version seems only better for jdk <= 8 and your webrev 07,
and for webrev 08, it seems actually (much) worse whatever the jdk.
=> jdk 8 looks faster than 7, but for some reason also faster than 9.
