The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

Measuring the speed of time Is there already a microbenchmark for os::javaTimeMillis()? I love short benchmarks like this as I can disassemble the resulting binary and ensure that the compiled instructions match my expectations, and the compiler hasen't messed with it. ## 6. Microbenchmark os::javaTimeMillis() on both systems.
