You are trusting nanoTime to actually return values that are useful!
They might be completely useless for your timing purposes. :-)
It all depends on the hardware you are running.
Read the spec:

The current prerequisite to optimizing away boxed parameters, is that the
JVM can inline the function call and the JVM usually inlines a lot!
It can even inline code that C++ cannot, i.e. code that is virtual.
It avoids code bloat by on
