I've noticed a difference between the hs16 and hs17 (b13) master trees:

6827605: new String intrinsics may prevent EA scalar replacement
Summary: don't use SSE42 string indexOf intrinsic if it is called for
new object which could be scalar replaced.
Reviewed-by: never
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/hsx/hsx16/master/rev/e502d7524e3a

is only in hs16 but not hs17.  Was this deliberate and is this fix no
longer needed?
