JIT compilation and performance

When deciding whether or not to use JIT compilation, you must make a balance between faster execution and increased processor usage during compilation.

The JIT is another area that can affect the performance of your program. The performance of short-running applications can be improved by using the -Xquickstart command-line parameter. The JIT is switched on by default, but you can use -Xint to turn it off. You also have considerable flexibility in controlling JIT processing. For more details about the JIT, see The JIT compiler and JIT and AOT problem determination.
