                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1232
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Thomas Koch
            Assignee: Thomas Koch


The class is not used and it rather harms to suggest to people that this would 
be the right way to do micro-benchmarks on the JVM. It even harms to suggest 
that micro-benchmarks are the right way to approach Java performance issues.

Quote from http://code.google.com/p/caliper/wiki/JavaMicrobenchmarks
"Why would I ever write a microbenchmark then?

Most of the time, you shouldn't! Instead, slavishly follow a principle of 
simple, clear coding that avoids clever optimizations. This is the type of code 
that JITs of the present and future are most likely to know how to optimize 
themselves. And that's a job which truly should be theirs, not yours. "

Google Java library, recommended by Joshua Bloch himself)
