My immediate reaction to this is p-code.

Compile a high-level language to p-code, and you're going to be spending nearly all your time inside internal function calls, and your interpreter is going to be doing very little.

Okay, it's not a jit, it's not patched your code to machine code, but the effect is pretty much the same ...

Cheers,
