JIT threshold, priority queue

[Nima Gougol]

Thanks Peter for your directions and suggestions. I hope compiler folks get
back to me pretty soon.  I already have some ideas to adjust compilation
time. My main question is , for now , how to collect statistics and compare
performances of different approaches? By the way, I am using IBM Ashes
benchmarks on Solaris x86. I wish I had SPECs benchmarks but they are a
little expensive. Which benchmarking applications and methods would you guys
suggest?

Best
