Interesting. To me, it would be surprising, simply because all I've seen 
in that direction like Jython, or Dan's Squeak-on-Java had significantly 
worse performance compared when run on top of the JVM compared to their 
"native" interpreter.

However, I would be *extremely* interested in having a data point to the 
opposite.
