LLVM isn't really a JIT, and I've never heard of people using it as one for C++. (Also, those that tried to use it as a JIT had lots of problems, like Unladen Swallow).

Rubinius is using it successfully though (I think anyways, does the Ruby community have benchmarking infrastructure?)
Yes. My impression is that it's the same kinda-sorta successfully as Unladen Swallow - pretty good, but nothing like LuaJIT2, V8 or SpiderMonkey.
Apparently PyPy still has work to do, we must insert ourselves into this list!
