jerrinot: a few random things

[jerrinot]

Check List:

• You have run ./mvnw verify and the project builds successfully
• Tests pass (./test.sh <username> shows no differences between expected and actual outputs)
• All formatting changes by the build are committed
• Your launch script is named calculate_average_<username>.sh (make sure to match casing of your GH user name) and is executable
• Output matches that of calculate_average_baseline.sh
• For new entries, or after substantial changes: When implementing custom hash structures, please point to where you deal with hash collisions (line number)

• Execution time: 1.7s
• Execution time of reference implementation: looong

I wasn't planning any further changes after #690. But I couldn't resist trying at least something after @thomaswue sent this beauty: #702
This PR is not really introducing anything new, just optimizing existing codepaths. It yields a small improvement on my box, but it's hard to predict if this translates to performance improvements on THE box.

In any case: @gunnarmorling, massive Thank you for organising this challenge, I had a blast!
