Please review two corrections for java.time

[roger riggs]

Hi David,

I found even on my VirturalBox machine it frequently came close to the 
.1ms target
and failed in one case.  Raising the time was to reduce/prevent 
intermittent failures.

Are other timing tests also sensitive to the Xcomp, how should tests be 
written
to be insensitive to that JVM option?

Are you otherwise ok with the changes?

Thanks, Roger
