Isn't it? Compiling C takes time, with Ruby you would be doing it for each execution. Is there some catching involved?

Almost everything is in a pre-compiled header. Its actually similar overhead to an LLVM based JIT.

You wouldn’t want to do it for a browser JIT but for a server side app it’s OK.

Does Ruby ship with a compiler? How will this work on Windows?
