=== Runtime Code Optimizations

The JVM gains significant performance from **runtime code optimization**: optimizations applied to code while it runs.

JVM implementations like OpenJDK's Hotspot progressively optimize code during execution.
Consequently, subsequent builds can be faster purely due to this optimization process.

       * fastest (more than twice as fast as the Java implementation, vs ~1.5x with non-final static
       * fields, on x86_32) under the Hotspot server compiler. The reason is obviously that the
       * non-final fields need to be reloaded inside the loop.
       *
       * And, no, defining (final or not) local variables out of the loop still isn't as good
