Yes, that's strictly more information. You still better collect it quickly, as you are compiling your functions each time they run.

Besides, people rally don't like that warming-up period. But it's not the current bottleneck.

Anyway, JIT has a great potential. Just not for desktop software, or network services, or your trading app. It can be great for scientific computing, for example. But that's potential; currently it's not any good on practice.

Well, Android team decided that AOT introduced in Android 5 was a mistake and they went back to a mix of first level interpreter handwritten in Assembly => JIT + PGO => AOT + PGO(taken from JIT) when idle.

Also the large majority of modern Windows software is actually written in .NET, with small C++ pieces.
