VM Performance / Java to Machine Code Compiler

Ahead-of-time compiling can be acceptable in many "server" applications of
Java. Would be awesome to have GCJ (GCC language) stuff working well on OS
X. Anybody had any success with it?

http://gcc.gnu.org/java/

I suppose there is indirect support given that OS X dev tools use gcc.
Apparently, "GCJ has been fully integrated and supported as a GCC language
since GCC version 3.0", and we're up to 3.3 on OS X.

Anybody know if this is functional/useful for OS X, or if Apple/Sun has any
involvement or similar competing plans (this would be a mixed blessing from
the GNU point of view). I know GCJ doesn't represent a perfect solution,
but I think it's an awesome approach in general. (Remember I'm not talking
about Applets here!) One can even bypass JNI if extreme native performance
is needed! Speculation aside, anybody have any first hand knowledge of this
stuff?

Erik
