From my research, System.currentTimeMillis() is not always accurate, especially on windows. I'm currently carrying out microbenchmarking on a Windows 10 machine. Would switching over to say, a linux VM give me more accurate results when using the method? Thanks.

    Meaningful microbenchmarks are hard to write, and then the results are only really meaningful on the JVM on which you ran them. Use a microbenchmarking framework like JMH or Caliper to free you from having to think about a lot of the very hard details. – Andy Turner Feb 23 '18 at 14:43

    ...while pushing you toward being sufficiently rigorous for the results to have some meaning. :-) – T.J. Crowder Feb 23 '18 at 14:45
