HotSpot compilation latency

[Stefan Reich]

Hi, a quick general question if you don't mind.

How quickly does HotSpot start (and finish) to compile methods? Is this
dependent on the system's speed or on wall time?

So, if I execute, say, a loop that runs for one second, is there a chance
it will be compiled and on-stack-replaced with an optimized version within
that second?

Many greetings,
Stefan
