I've asked some JVM types to see if I can find any data on this. Is there any evidence that a 'final method' makes a difference on any JVM's? Initial general advice I've gotten back (which would fit with my general outlook on the subject) was: don't write code for JIT optimization until warranted and well understood... Hopefully, I'll hear back on some specifics of JIT behavior. All that said -- IMO, OWB is probably in the wrong here... But not sure how "right" Aries is... ;-) --kevan
