 The JIT VM, when invoked, loops around a set of pre-defined instructions until

+The JIT optimiser attempts to pre-compile instructions in to chunks or segments
+such as multiple PUSH operations and static JUMPs. It does this by analysing the
+opcodes and attempts to match certain regions to known sets. Whenever the
+optimiser finds said segments it creates a new instruction and replaces the
+first occurrence in the sequence.
