attempt to port it, e.g. to ARM, PowerPC and x86-64.  The Cogit (excuse the
pun) is so named because it is both an interpreter and a JIT, choosing not
to generate machine code for large methods, interpreting them instead, the
default policy being not to JIT methods with more than 60 literals.

I think it would be better to use an adaptive policy later. Something like: all methods will be inlined if they are evaluated enough times. Say a method with 10 literals will be inlined if it's evaluated 100 times. A method with 100 literals will need 10000 runs, etc. (note: i just made up the numbers).
