"precision" JIT: I'm not sure -- can you tell it what to do? More predictable performance model than HotSpot: absolutely.
One can also suppose that, with more memory and more power-efficient processors, Google has calculated that in real-world cases, ART's pre-compiler delivers more benefits in performance dimensions than it costs in space and power dimensions.
