I think, we should not define a distinct method for this once-used 3-liner:
              for (; i < max-1; i++)
                  if (v[i] == high && v[i+1] == low)
                          return i - offset;

HotSpots resources should not be over-stressed to inline such things, 
having more reserves for more important things.

Ah, ok, just a kind of coding style.
