It does feel faster, once it gets going, but it seems like the first
time a given piece of code is run, there's a noticeable delay
(presumably because the JIT compiler is doing its thing). This occurs,
for example, the first time you bring up a dialog box in a Swing app.
It also makes application startup significantly slower. But for code
the JIT compiler has already seen, it definitely feels faster to me.
YMMV.
