I removed the Blackhole example as it seems uncommon in my limited
experience to need to consume multiple values (and one less slide is not a
bad thing).  Btw, I bet if Blackhole didn't have such a great and memorable
name, people wouldn't use it so much ;).

I hadn't realized you could run multithreaded benchmarks without @Group,
thanks.  I added @GroupThreads to the example since I think asymmetric
benchmarks are a nice feature to highlight.

Eclipse has a save action that will automatically add final to private
fields where possible so this one has bit me :).

Thank you for your comments.
