The JVM does compile to native code once it is executed a specific number of times. That's what the JIT compiler does. You can control how many times a piece of code executes before it gets compiled by changing this JVM option -XX:CompileThreshold=<number>.
If you want to look at other JVM options you can view the whole list here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/vmoptions-jsp-140102.html Someone did post in the mail list earlier this week or last week about a project that translate clojure code into C++.
