As a counterpoint (and not necessarily the one the GP is referring to), if you were compiling for, say, an FPGA the overhead of compilation would be very significant.

Our processor is analogous to a CGRA, so compilation to it would indeed be hindered by a JIT based compiler.

That's "course-grained reconfigurable architecture", for anyone else who didn't know.
