Umm, jumping the gun ?

I personally would look at other places first exhaustively. Same JIT
compiler is being used in large number of parallel applications world
over, if your statement is really representative, these guys won't be
bothering with multithreading & parallel processing in Java/JVM.

I too shall try to reimplement it, and let you know about the results.
