Even if you do find a JIT, beware of it.  So far (possibly with the
exception of the SunSoft JIT), none of the JIT's I've seen are
reliable especially when you are running significant programs.

For example, our application does not work with the recent Symantec
JIT that is enabled by default on JDK 1.1.6 on Windows.  A particular
problem that we did solve was to workaround an apparent optimizing out
of an array too early by the JIT.  We had to insert the no-op:

arrayobject.getClass()

To prevent the JIT from taking the array away from us too early.

Even though this has fixed one problem, there are many other known
problems with various JITs and so even if your program apparantly
runs right, you really cannot trust its results! :-(

But the JIT's are improving and hopefully, we should be able to start
relying on them for serious applications soon.

Sriram.
