JVM doesn't implement unboxed types, so it's a *particularly* bad match for
BitC.

The problem with Mono performance is interesting. It's very possible that
two or three people, contributing actively, could make a *huge* improvement
in Mono performance. But as you note, the JIT implementation in mono was a
fairly small fraction of the effort. It's not at all out of the question
that one could simply build a new and better JIT and re-use most of the
library infrastructure investment that Mono has already made.

Since "mono" is taken, the successor could perhaps be named after some more
aggressive disease. Perhaps "Spanish Flu". :-)
