For Joe (or whoever wants to read it): If benches get harder and harder as JVM's get smarter and smarter, maybe some tools could be developped to help developpers with that, instead of just having them warned about benches. I know there is JConsole etc., but I think about something that could work for libraries, and rate them for different contexts of use. After all, developping is developping implemented algorithms, and algorithms are rated according to their correctness (for which we have JUnit), and their performance (for which we have (?)). Or maybe that's just not possible, or would be way too complicated... Jeff

You might be interested in a recent email to the Guava 1 mailing list introducing a new Google open source project called Caliper 2 that intends to serve as a micro-benchmarking framework for evaluating performance characteristics under various JVM configurations.
