Background

Groovy has a performance problem due to its dynamic nature, while there are several requests for performance improvement.

Proposed Solution

Implementing just-in-time compiler is a proper way to help boosting Groovy's performance. It would be great to have a Groovy module (in this case a JVMTI agent) to help re-compiling Groovy classes during runtime.

Reference Implementation

The early version of GIT is located at http://svn.codehaus.org/grails-plugins/grails-aop/trunk/MAIN/agent/
