问题
为什么 2 * (i * i) 比 2 * i * i 效率高？
执行如下代码时，平均完成时间在 0.50s 到 0.55s 之间：
ublic static void main(String[] args) {
long startTime = System.nanoTime();
int n = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++) {
n += 2 * (i * i);
}
System.out.println((double) (System.nanoTime() - startTime) / 1000000000 + " s");
System.out.println("n = " + n);
}
但如果我把其中的 2 * (i * i) 换成 2 * i * i，程序的平均完成时间就在 0.60s 到 0.65s 之间，这是什么原因导致的呢？
我反复运行了上述程序 15 次，每次运行的时间结果对比如下：
2*(i*i) | 2*i*i
----------+----------
0.5183738 | 0.6246434
0.5298337 | 0.6049722
0.5308647 | 0.6603363
0.5133458 | 0.6243328
0.5003011 | 0.6541802
0.5366181 | 0.6312638
0.515149 | 0.6241105
0.5237389 | 0.627815
0.5249942 | 0.6114252
0.5641624 | 0.6781033
0.538412 | 0.6393969
0.5466744 | 0.6608845
0.531159 | 0.6201077
0.5048032 | 0.6511559
0.5232789 | 0.6544526
其中运行 2 * i * i 版本的代码最快完成时间都要比 2 * (i * i) 版本最慢完成时间慢上很多。假设它们要达到相同的效率，那么此事发生的概率应该低于 .

两者的字节码顺序有些许不同。
首先来看 2 * (i * i) 的字节码：
iconst_2
iload0
iload0
imul
imul
iadd
再来看 2 * i * i 的字节码：
iconst_2
iload0
imul
iload0
imul
iadd
乍一看，两者并没有什么不同，只是顺序发生了变化，但实际上第二个版本是更优的版本。
我们深入底层去看看 JIT，JIT 更倾向于展开小循环，而 2 * (i * i) 是以 16 倍来展开的：

这里我们看到堆栈上有更多的溢出，这是因为此时需要保存的中间结果增多了。
因此，问题迎刃而解，2 * (i * i) 之所以比 2 * i * i 效率高，是因为 JIT 为 2 * (i * i) 生成了更佳的汇编代码。
