In java 1.6 (recent releases) the AggressiveOpts flag does some escape analysis and other optimizations that could help some kinds of code.
See http://java.sun.com/performance/reference/whitepapers/tuning.html#section4.2.4 My own feeling is that changes less than 2x in performance are not very exciting since there are definitely 2-10x opportunities available to us by algorithmic and structural changes. Changes with less 10% or less impact are distractions at this point. Remember 10% is just a few months of Moore's law.
