Probably you have heard the famous Java JIT engine problem on Big Endian machines (what the WebKit developers will not care anymore). It is really tricky to correct. That's why Fab haven't ported a recent version of WebKit.
Again someone mixing Javascript with Java... Sigh...
From what I know the Javascript engine endianess issue isn't at all connected with JIT. This is the other story.
If the Javascript engine would be fixed for big-endian machines we'd have a recent Odyssey version, running similar to the earlier versions.
Then if the Javascript interpreter JIT would be ready, the browser (especially on heavy JS using sites) would feel much faster.
