i'd be curious about a head to head comparison of how much the c2 actually buys over a static aot compilation with something serious like llvm.

if it is valuable, i'd be surprised you can't freeze/resume the state and use it for instantaneous workload optimized startup.

I mean, both of your points are a thing, see https://www.azul.com/products/components/falcon-jit-compiler... for LLVM as a JIT compiler

and https://openjdk.org/jeps/483 (and in general, project Leyden)
