Add small changes for better Performance

* Cache addresses to avoid repeated lookups.
* Presize HashMap to avoid rehashing during record grouping
* Check queue size on flushes first and avoid creation of Duration objects
* Use ArrayList for better cache locality.

These changes were measure with the JMH benchmark to lead to significant
improvements. They were especially high on small record numbers with small
batches. But even on 5000 records cases the provided 30-60% high throughput.
