openjdk-6-jre: java -server performance bug

[C Erler]

When running the attached Java program using the client VM, `(a < 0L)` is evaluated much more quickly than `(a < Long.MIN_VALUE) ^ (a < 0L)`, which is what should happen.

However, using the server VM, `(a < 0L)` evaluates slightly *slower* than `(a < Long.MIN_VALUE) ^ (a < 0L)`.
