buchgr e12613a018 Fix performance regression in FastThreadLocal microbenchmark. Fixes #4402
Motivation:

As reported in #4402, the FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that the JDK ThreadLocal
is actually faster than Netty's custom thread local implementation.

I was looking forward to doing some deep digging, but got disappointed :(.

Modifications:

The microbenchmark was not using FastThreadLocalThreads and would thus always hit the slow path.
I updated the JMH command line flags, so that FastThreadLocalThreads would be used.

Result:

FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows FastThreadLocal to be faster than JDK's ThreadLocal implementation,
by about 56% in this particular benchmark. Run on OSX El Capitan with OpenJDK 1.8u60.

Netty Project

Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

How to build

For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.

You require the following to build Netty:

Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.

Branches to look

The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
