There's indeed a huge improvement. The test I was using with ~2000 JIT
objects goes drops from ~400s to 7.5s (~3s without gdb). However a
rough scaling test suggests that the scaling is still ~O(n^2) 20k JIT
objects takes ~500s (~130s without gdb). It seems that the master was
actually super quadratic (if this is a word) when dealing with
multiple JIT objects.

Indeed. It's already so much better.
