Java loop gets slower after some runs / JIT's fault?

Question

So I wanted to benchmark some basic java functionality to add some imformation to this question: What is the gain from declaring a method as static.

I know writing b

Answer 1

It looks like is the way Java is adding values to variable r. I've made a few changes, adding method run2():

public class TestPerformanceOfStaticVsDynamicCalls {
    private static final long RUNS = 1_000_000_000L;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Test run 1 =================================");
        new TestPerformanceOfStaticVsDynamicCalls().run();
        System.out.println("Test run 2 =================================");
        new TestPerformanceOfStaticVsDynamicCalls().run2();
    }
    private void run2() {
        long r = 0;
        long start, end;
        for (int loop = 0; loop < 10; loop++) {
            // Benchmark
            long stat = 0;
            start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            for (long i = 0; i < RUNS; i++) {
                stat += addStatic(1, i);
            }
            end = System.currentTimeMillis();
            System.out.println("Static: " + (end - start) + " ms");
            long dyna = 0;
            start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            for (long i = 0; i < RUNS; i++) {
                dyna += addDynamic(1, i);
            }
            end = System.currentTimeMillis();
            System.out.println("Dynamic: " + (end - start) + " ms");
            // If you really want to have values in "r" then...
            r += stat + dyna;
            // Do something with r to keep compiler happy
            System.out.println(r);
        }
    }
    private void run() {
        long r = 0;
        long start, end;
        for (int loop = 0; loop < 10; loop++) {
            // Benchmark
            start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            for (long i = 0; i < RUNS; i++) {
                r += addStatic(1, i);
            }
            end = System.currentTimeMillis();
            System.out.println("Static: " + (end - start) + " ms");
            start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            for (long i = 0; i < RUNS; i++) {
                r += addDynamic(1, i);
            }
            end = System.currentTimeMillis();
            System.out.println("Dynamic: " + (end - start) + " ms");
            // If you really want to have values in "r" then...
            // Do something with r to keep compiler happy
            System.out.println(r);
        }
    }
    private long addDynamic(long a, long b) {
        return a + b;
    }
    private static long addStatic(long a, long b) {
        return a + b;
    }
}

The results for are:

As for why adding directly to r, I have no clue. Maybe somebody can provide more insights on why accessing r inside the loop block makes things much slower.
