Harmony VM doesn't have hotspot mode. Interpreting mode never switches to JIT so interpreter is really intended for debugging and possibly for quick porting to other architectures (you need to write small portions of assembly for calling native methods). Interpreting the code is definitely slow compared to compiling it. -- Gregory
