In at least a few instances that I know of, jikes produces slower code. 
But I don't think javac is a really great optimizing compiler either.

There is at least one bug that causes jikes to crash where javac
compiles the code.  Don't remember exactly what it was, I think it was
something like private inner classes.  I just made them non-private and
they compiled fine.
