Re: Java (bytecode) execution speed

My problem is that in my conception, when it is a question of running a
virtual machine, the "compilation" would be to that vm's "machine"
language and thats as "low" as you could go.

What have I got wrong?

In the end the code does not run on the vm, but on the real machine.
A runtime with "just in time compilation" compiles the virtual machine
code to real, machine dependent code much like a compiler would do.
