Yes. This wasn't a carefully crafted benchmark, but I did run a number of similar test using both the 0.3 and 0.4 versions and the same input zip before taking the final measurements, so caching should not affect the relative performance figures. For the record, I ran the tests using Sun Java 1.6.0_07 on a quad-core Dell Optiplex 755 desktop (Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM) with Fedora Core 9 (Linux kernel 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.i686).
