The JVM is threaded and therefore nondeterministic when it comes to
the exact order of calls, etc. across the whole JVM. If you are
talking about the ordering of certain calls from a /single thread/,
then those ought to be entirely deterministic and I would not expect
to see any deviation between two runs of the same
container/webapp/configuration.
If you'd like to call our attention to a specific thread of execution
that seems to behave differently in the two separate traces, I might
consider looking. But I'm not even going to open those files until you
get me that far: I'm simply not going to stare at two complete JVM
call traces generated by a "not widely used" profiler for academic
interest.
