If you want a quick solution that will "just work" with existing 
benchmarks, do a strcmp with method->class_info->name (package name) as 
one of the arguments.

You can see the package hierarchy in 
${SABLEVM_PREFIX}/share/sablevm-classpath if you install an uncompressed 
classpath (or unzip the compressed one) ... for 1.1.9, matching against 
the following list will tell you if the method or class is application 
code (unless your app has the same package prefix) -- note the slashes 
instead of dots:

gnu/classpath/*
gnu/java/*
gnu/javax/*
gnu/regexp/*
gnu/xml/*
java/*
javax/*
org/ietf/*
org/w3c/*
org/xml/*

Of course you can probably do fancier / cleaner tricks but this is IMO 
easiest.  If this doesn't sound right, then probably some more details 
on what you want to do would be useful.

Cheers,
