I would like to compare different variants of optimization using final 
fields. I won't compare it with current code that uses volatile. I think 
that overhead that is caused by fences imposed on POWER8 by final fields 
(does POWER8 use any memory ordering instructions on the read side for 
final fields?) can be offset with better overall algorithm.
