This was my fault, I just copied the contents of the class and missed the using statements. Once I added System.Diagnostics, Stopwatch works fine (this doesn't affect performance).

I'd presume that may lead to limited performance gains if the VM adds special optimizations on top of the Java source code implementation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
