Have you benchmarked the case where the element is never present? That's the only case I've tested. If the element were in the array, my code would obviously win.

(with the usual caveats about micro-benchmarking - perhaps use google caliper?) The tests I wrote are quite simple - they just run a code snippet for several hundreds of times. I've just sent and archive with the tests in reply to the other message in the thread.

I've done a little testing on my side. I used Integer as an underlying type and set length of the array to the values from 1 to 100. My code shows a little performance gain - approximately 9%. I understand it may not be there for all cases, but at least for some cases it is there.
