If you really want to nerd snipe, write an optimized version in a non-JVM language to compare to the fastest Java one. But that's kind of boring anyway, we've seen this play out a thousand times. I still appreciate the intention of seeing how far we can squeeze performance of modern Java+JVM though. Too bad very few folks have the freedom to apply that at their day jobs though.
