You mean using directBuffers in java - that could be, if the JIT fails to remove the bound checks. It should never be an issue in native code, of course. But yes - it's possible that it happens with Java code. In that case you'd n

Don't know about 2000+ grit polishing concrete, it's likely to be wet sanded but still. The particles would be a lot finer. The 'engineered' stone is just very fine dust along with binders.
