Not quite true, Ben is on the right track. The JIT compiler is usually
part of the JVM, and thus not a separate compiler in its own right, and
yes, it translates Java bytecodes into native instructions for the
architecture it is running on. However, it tends to do this at on a
per-method basis (that is, at run-time), which may mean you will
experience a slow-down the first time you run a particular Java method.
