Hindsight's 20/20. That's already happened. :-)

It depends on the problem of course. Some problems are more amenable to 
compile time optimization and some to runtime optimization. These days 
sometimes Java is faster and sometimes C++ is faster. For my needs, 
they;re so close to each other either way, that it hardly matters.
