Yeah, looks like benchmark-wise it's a wash, which is good. I wasn't aware of the difference between the static interrupted() and non-static isInterrupted(). I was wondering if in this case it should be isInterrupted(), but I think how you did it is good because it'll be evaluated within the traversal thread regardless.
