Hugh, tell me the truth.  Are you making fun of some of the people
here?  Unlike me and you, most here can't pick out a craftily
worded contradiction of logic even if it were to smack them on the
forehead...  It's probably a factor as to why they're religious.
Anyway, I'd swear you've posted variations of this little "test"
at least six times now.  If it's wasn't a test, you might want to
ask yourself why you keep posting the same thing over and over
again.

Obviously, "just-in-time compiling" compiles the code.  So,
claiming the code executes "without being recompiled" is _clearly_
an erroneous statement, either on your part or Mr. Bloch's.

IMO, there is no *real* point to either "just-in-time compiling"
or a VM.

A VM is a software version of a processor.  It re-implements
functionality the processor can already do, typically.  This means
a VM will always be slower than native code which executes
directly on the microprocessor.

"Just-in-time compiling" shifts the burden of compiling an
application from the developer to software being executed on the
user's machine.  Unfortunately, that slows down execution from the
user's perspective also by delaying execution until the
"just-in-time compiling" actually compiles some of the code.  This
might be painfully slow if the user has a slow machine.
