Reduced performance in Java 9.0.1 (vs 8u152)

[Laurent Bourgès]

Hi,

I wonder if the gcc compiler 4.9 used for jdk9 builds may cause some
slowdowns (native code).

I already tested few gcc options (auto vectorization) and it had some
effect on the awt library (c maskfill loops). I also tried gcc 6...

Do you experience slowdowns on linux only or is it more general (cross
platform) ?

My 2 cents...
