• Use a disassembler if available to inspect the generated code.
• Switches are profiled but the profile information is poorly used. For now, consider building an initial decision tree if you know one or two cases are really common.
• Exception throwing compiles to a goto, if the thrower and catcher inline together. For such uses, rely on preallocated or cloned exceptions, or override the fillInStackTrace part of exception creation, which is an expensive, reflective native call.
• Do not use jsr/ret. Just clone your finally code if you have to.
• If you are compiling a non-Java language, consider using standard mangling conventions.
• If you are generating almost the same class many times in a row, with small variations, factor out the repeating parts into a superclass or static helper class.
• For small variations in the remaining part, consider using a single named class as a template and loading it multiple times as an anonymous class with constant pool edits. Anonymous classes load and unload faster than named ones.
