What about timing tests of the resulting bytecode? 'jikes' should generate code similar to that generated by 'javac'. (It's just a compiler, not an optimizer or replacement JVM.) All 'jikes' does is replace the Java-coded compiler with one written in C++ which, in my opinion, is a good thing, for at least the short term. When you're running a compiler, you don't really want to pay the 2 second price of starting up a JVM only to spend half a second compiling a single Java class.
