The other issue with JIT is that it is unreliable. It optimizes code by making assumptions. If one of the assumptions is wrong, you pay a large latency penalty. In my field of finance, having reliably low latency is important. Being 15% faster on average, but every once in a while you will be really slow, is not something customers will go for.

I'm not in finance. I just remember one talk by a finance guy and it was a mind bender so I remember it.
