As Jörg said, you have to take JVM startup into account. That makes the whole thing relatively unpredictable. Measuring times from batch files is ok to get a general idea but not for investigating details. For that you have to write a Java program and execute the transformations several times to make sure all classes are loaded (a lengthy process) and the JVM had a chance to compile some Java code into machine code for faster execution (HotSpot JIT compiler).
