I am still skeptical, sorry.

I strongly recommend writing JMH benchmarks, and also run with the perfasm option to produce the hot parts of the generated benchmarked code. Otherwise it’s hard to trust the results. But it’s hard to trust *any* performance results :-) using JMH makes it easier to evaluate.

My suggestion is to look more closely at Panama, there might be some synergy and reuse of what you are learned in HotSpot.
