May add these methods, I just hack and submit ;)

It wasn't about which JDOM methods you used, but about using a Iterator
to trasverse a List inside a recursive method (BenchJDOM.walkElement).
This caused the test (not JDOM) to added a additional time pentaliy.
Granted, the change to using a for loop still doesn't give JDOM the best
times, but the test should be as neutral as possible.

In all fairness I would of used a Iterator myself and not given it a second
thought. But now after seeing a good example of how it can affected things,
I've made a mental note to always use a for loop and List.get(int) unless
I need the functionality of remove.

Ahhh, the joys of objects.
