Besides running custom tags a ***lot*** faster (very visible on a page with lots of Struts tags), this compiler tries to work around the 64k limit on method size by factoring out some nested chunks of code into separate methods, thus arbitrarily increasing the maximum size of a page. This works, however, only if you have zero scriptlets -- but that should not be a problem for well-designed JSP pages. You'd have to check with the JBoss folks when they plan to integrate with a 4.1 release of Tomcat.
