boxing + unboxing a VT is not a no-op ?

[Tobias Hartmann]

Hi Remi,

okay, thanks for the details. Could you maybe upload the jmh benchmark .jar? I have problems to
build the entire benchmark suite from scratch and I cannot reproduce the performance difference when
extracting the benchmark methods and running them manually.

Thanks,
Tobias
