Guys, I see the following issues with the benchmark:
1. There is only one iteration. I would put it in a loop and measure at least hundred of iterations. 2. no-op jobs are not real world example at all =) job requests are processed in thread pool executor which is not very much effective for such usecase. 3. Job is an inner class inside NoOpTask. Evgeniy, can you please change it to a static class and check if it helps here? 4. Also, multinode tests should be run on multiple machines (preferably, 1 node per host). --Yakov
