Thanks to the work of Daniel Grunblatt, we now have JIT capabilities in parrot. It's in the latest CVS, ready for your use and abuse.
To run a program with the JIT, pass test_parrot the -j flag and watch it scream. Well, scream if you're on x86 Linux or BSD (I get a speedup on mops.pbc of 35x) but it's a darned good place to start.
