Remember, neither translation to machine code is guaranteed to be faster than translation to a VM bytecode, nor execution of such a code is guaranteed to be faster than execution of bytecode.

The machine code has to be faster because the intermediate to machine code step, which impacts performance at least once is eliminated.
