Yes, of course that would be preferable. However, performance variation is just
one factor, and other factors in JIT libraries are just as important, if not
more so. We shouldn't have this one factor overriding everything else.
Besides, none of the JIT approaches we're talking about are free from the issues
Daniel raised: they all have significant performance differences on different
platforms. If we're going to reject a JIT approach merely because a 3x
performance improvement on one platform isn't equally shared by other platforms,
we might as well just be up front about it and say we're going to reject all JIT
approaches.
(If performance variation is really a problem, we could have Emacs default to
running slowly on all platforms, and speed up only when the user asks it to. :-)
