Can you prove that binaries compiled with profile feedback are slower? No, I did not keep track of JIT but it is a very raw wound or I wouldn't have commented.
I want machine code executables. No JIT. Not even in the theoretical case where it might be faster long term, first because those cases are practically non-existent: daemons don't usually crunch numbers but JIT versions consume inordinate amounts of memory and second they don't actually provide portability: take any audiovisual demo and try to run it on all the platforms which the VM supports: I want to know how many will play sound and how many will correctly and quickly display graphics.

JIT and VM's are a lie.
