Hmm... your assessment of Jigsaw is similar to mine. I never got around
to running any hard benchmarks though.
The W3C generally strives for completeness and accuracy in their
implementation, and if it happens to perform well, that's just icing on
the cake.
I haven't any idea how real the current limitations of Jigsaw are, or
how easy they would be to fix... but if I were doing an open source
project, I might very well prefer to start with Jigsaw due to its
architecture and relatively clean code, even if JWS were available as
open source. It may not be ready for production, but then, don't expect
too many commercial-grade products to be released as source. It seems
that projects tend to be open sourced because they are unfinished, not
the other way around...
