Odd decrease of benchmark throughput

[Dávid Karnok]

I think I found the problem. The JITWatch's own analysis indicated (should
have looked at that earlier) that two of the hottest methods couldn't be
inlined in L4 because of being too deep in the call stack. Adding
-XX:MaxInlineLevel=20 the perf was ~650 ops/s for any number of measure
iterations.

So it seems that until the @Benchmark method got inlined, everything was
relatively fine but then once that outermost method became eligible for
JIT-ting, the hot path fell below the default inline level and the
resulting code was now 3x slower.

Thank you for your time.
