Very interesting. One of the things that's always hurt Java (especially GUIs) is that all the work to JIT programs is never saved, everytime you start a program, it and all the runtime libraries it uses are reJIT'd everytime. Apple has supposedly done something in this area but I was never able to find any real details.
One would think that if the VM runtime was smart about saving JIT work then it would have more time to do a better job optimizing unJIT'd code. > -----Original Message----- > From: Miguel de Icaza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2002 12:04 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Announce: A .NET assembly -> native code > generation tool (ala ngen for MONO) > > > Hello Zoltan, > > > The first version of my ngen clone for MONO is available at: > > > > http://www.nexus.hu/vargaz2 > > This announcement is of course really exciting.
