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.
