It would be a success metric the other way round: If we didn't lose interpreter performance, we could have been certain not to lose startup performance.

Now, we don't know how much the impact on startup performance is. But it may be affected.

The assumption behind this proposal was that interpreter performance would not suffer much on modern hardware. The -Xint benchmark is able to show that this is not true.

Ah, I see. I can't fathom why this is a success metric then.
