If you're testing with JDK8 you're missing the last two years of work on the optimiser. I'd be interested to see what Java 9 does, as it's (supposedly) coming out in a few months.

JDK9 has the capability to vectorize a loop with branch inside. I tried JDK9 early release with a simple testing case myself.
