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.
