The idea
Just-in-time compilation delays translating intermediate code until runtime — sound assumptions make the code run very fast, and a dynamic check reverts to the interpreter when they fail.
In practice
A game engine warming up mid-play is the delay strategy earning its keep.
Where people slip
The speed is conditional; the fallback is the safety.
