There's a big pentalty for using a jit when a user first
starts an app. This is not typically a problem for servers,
but it is for client apps. When we demo our software, it
looks slow while it's making its first impression.

A solution would be for the jit to cache its results on
disk, perhaps during System.exit(). The first run of an
app would still be slow, but subsequent runs would be better.
Hotspot would be able to start where it left off, not at the
beginning.
