It's simple enough to do some abstract method call instead of initializing a sum or adding to it. The problem is that as long as such a call is not effectively inlined by the JVM, it will cause a performance hit for the sum case. The latest version of the advanceAfterCurrent method that computes the score is java protected. It can be overridden to make the best of it in another world.
