It's not the only difference. A JIT compiler has typically not the same
scope/abilities/optimization opportunities as a real compiler, not to mention
deficiencies in a language that has 'double' as only numeric type.

So "compiler" and "compiler" are apples and oranges in this case.

Correct.

And done on each and every (often under-powered) device out there, if not even
done on each and every application start, instand once when preparing binary
packages.

*sigh*
