What kind of application do you have in mind?

It's "native" as in "we have an OCaml top-level with native-code
performance and a large latency". Each phrase is compiled with
ocamlopt's backend to an assembler file, which is then assembled, linked
into a shared library, dl-opened and then run. (Shared libraries will
never be closed so your OS must be strong enough to support that.)
Performances will likely be equal to ocamlopt's generated code (in
particular, we have cross-phrase optimizations).

Feel free to play with it ("make ocamlnat") and tell us whether this is
adequate for what you want to do.

  Alain
