As is this would mean that the JIT can't JIT any opcodes that are brought in by dynamically loaded classes, it would be pain for any heavy users of custom classes. Would it be beneficial (and feasible) to either provide a mechanism (flag on the command line, flag in the bytecode, whatever parrot treats treats a perl-level pragma as, etc, not sure) to either a: disable the JIT until the main program starts (running on CG or some other low startup cost core until then) or b: signal a (partial) re-JIT of something/everything after a library/ everything has loaded? I've no idea how easy this might be. Or sensible. Nicholas Clark
