For the unfamiliar, there is a subculture of urban exploration surrounding "draining", the act of exploring storm drains and (sometimes) sewers. It can be a fun adventure at times as many drains have large "features" such as massive underground rooms, historic brickwork, cave formations (e.g. stalactites), water storage tanks or waterfalls. Most of the time, they don't even smell that bad and you can get some cool photos. You also often will find oddly-shaped mushrooms growing out of the walls of the tunnels. This is most likely just some group of explorers who were not so careful to observe rule #2: don't be seen entering/exiting the drains. Rule #1 is "when it rains, no drains."

I had to go back over it a few times to understand. I believe its the number of branches at each depth level.

In my experience J9 needs to be finely tuned to reach maximum performance for a specific use case other than enterprise application throughput. Try using the -Xquickstart flag if you want to improve startup time.
