Are JIT Improvements Universal? - Nintonito - 09-20-2014

Noticing the SHOCKING improvements to performance JIT wise on my Windows machine, I was wondering if Fiora's and Lion's work will translate to mobile. I'm not sure how much is shared between each platform's JITs, I was just curious if those new commits affected android as well.

Changes to JIT64 won't affect the ARM JITs.

Almost all the x86_64 JIT work won't effect the Android port since the JITs don't share much code.
Maybe once there is a x86_64 Android device and we work around the issues that Dolphin will have on a x86 device we can have those benefits on mobiles.

A decent number of the ideas in the x86 JIT can probably be applied to improve the ARM JIT, but it'd need someone to implement it (I don't think I'm nearly familiar enough with ARM to do that though).
