My understanding is the Apple makes use of the LLVM extensively in the
rendering pipeline.  Expressing graphics commands in a language that
compiles down to LLVM (OpenGL?) allows JITing for the target graphics
hardware.  This allowed sharing a lot of graphics code between Leopard
(targeted at machines with hardcore graphics accelerators) and the iPhone
(where power consumption is the highest priority.)
