The much bigger problem with JIT is the huge amount of non-shared memory that gets taken up by JIT compiled versions of the (huge!) standard libraries. I'd much rather see someone go for a shared mmap()able temp file for the purpose of reducing memory usage!

Use GCJ. The libgcj (GNU Classpath) core libraries are just compiled as a shared library so all gcj compiled (native) applications just share the core class library. That is what is so nice about the radical traditional approach that gcj takes.
