I haven't used it, but the home page is:

I've just upgraded to 2.2.0pre6 and have started to see the same sort of
thing occasionally.  If I get more, I'll save the details for anyone
interested.  I wouldn't be surprised if it is a buggy kernel causing the
issue - the MM stuff is in flux right now.

Actually, it's a bit more than a JIT:

'Turbo is a Java (TM) byte code to native code compiler. Like a JIT
compiler (and unlike traditional compilers) it does not require the
application source code, it compiles byte code coming from the net. 
Unlike a JIT compiler, it works as a compiler separate from the Java
runtime and it achieves similar optimizations to traditional compilers,
gaining efficiency over JIT compiled code.'

TurboJ has been tested by them with the 1.1.3 Blackdown JDKs - though I'm
not sure it works with the latest Steve Byrne efforts.  If I can get it
going I'll report back.  It claims to be much faster than a traditional
JIT. 

I don't think they are ready with their JDK yet - couldn't find that on
the site.
