On the other hand, i think it's nice that google doesn't touch webkit svn anymore. They introduced quite some mess that i'm happy to see gone. So going to blink doesn't look very appealing to me for now.

Implementing the llint ppc backend in webkit would be easier than JIT and would provide a 2-3x speedup already. And actually, the responsible for leopard webkit project also started to work on JIT, trying to integrate tenforfoux's one. It's already functional for YARR jit (regexp stuff), but for javascript, many trampolines still have to be written.
