The article you link to already explains it... ?

> The point is, if you look in the announcements and comments about what the JIT does you can pretty much guess why this is kind of the expected result. The JIT compiler improves performance for CPU-intensive work (for example calculating Mandelbrots) but not so much for the "default" kind of applications. We usually don't do all that many calculations.

Yes, I read that, but that's not really what I ask. What makes JIT improve performance only for CPU-intensive work? I don't understand the connection there.
