All timers are started after the warmup.

No? In the scala code the timer is started and Actors are created. No warmup anywhere. https://github.com/atemerev/skynet/blob/master/scala/src/mai...

How do you know when warmup is finished?

Warmup's a tricky issue, see this brand new paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.00602

There's an update for Akka version, which measures 12/8/4.4 seconds on subsequent attempts, so yes, warmup is important... but somehow that seems kinda unfair for other languages too.
