No, there are two incrementors going on here. One is the loop counter 
which is using iinc. The other is the iadd which is incrementing my "i" 
variable that will fall out the back end of the loop to be used. The 
equiv Java is:

int i = 0;
int loopCounter = 0;

while (loopCounter < 300000000) {
   i = i + 1;
   loopCounter++;
}

i.e. loopCounter is nothing more than to know when to exit the "times" 
loop. i is a user variable that will be used later on in the program and 
has nothing to do with the loop, other than being incremented in the 
body of the loop.
