Note that usually being "as fast as" a production JSVM means also proving that you can start up as fast as JSVMs do. Have you done this?

Search around for "Substrate VM". I see it referenced in some slide decks, and it's designed to make JVM startup much faster.

Here's an old slidedeck that talks about it: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jvmls2013wimmer-20140...

Wow thx for the reminder, I have forgotten about it already. I remember the promise of Truffle + Graal + Substrate VM.

My god can't believe it was 3 years ago i read about it on HN.

I know about it. I'm not concerned with future hypotheticals, but current actual measurements.

That's the currency I deal in.

There seem to be measurements in the slides I reference, so it wasn't exactly "future work". But of course it sucks that this work is not yet publicly available (AFAIK), probably due to not being 100% production ready yet. But I'm sure it's getting there.
