Couldn't you cache the result of the conversion? You might find [1] an interesting paper: It discusses caching the results of a JIT compiler. The dependency tracking might possibly be applicable to your situation as well (I'm not sure, though -- the Common Language Runtime might already do this for you). Or maybe, you could generate a CLI assembly for an entire JAR file when a class is requested through your JAR ClassLoader for the first time.
