Think of a Web server running multiple CGI scripts written in Perl,
Python, Guile, whatever, plus Java servlets. If all of these
environments could be linked with the same JIT compiler shared
library, wouldn't it be just great?
Perhaps, but you're talking about saving perhaps 1.2 MB per process and
these are likely ones that will have large dataspaces anyway, so the
actual savings even on such a server will likely turn out negligable
if you do the calculations.
