Yes, you usually don't get a stack overflow
when you do tail recursion for example. So
a method:

     void p(int a) {

         ...
         p(b);
     }

Is the same as a loop:

     void p(int a) {
        for (;;) {
           ...
           a = b;
        }
     }

The simplest obtimisation a JIT can do is replace
the last call p(b) by a jump, so not pushing a
new return address on the stack and reusing the
already pushed return address.

Etc... Etc...
