Pre Compile[1] – Pre Compile's core method that controls compilation is embarrassingly parallel because it uses a For loop to iterate over each Method. Currently due to time constraints of Google Summer the multi-threaded PreCompile method is in an non optimized version 0 state and is currently seeing overhead but the overhead is minimal because it is causing neither a speed up nor a slow down in other words the running time is the same. However, that can be easily fixed by sending groups of data onto a thread at once preferably 1/2 methods for thread one and 1/2 methods for thread two on a two thread system which is an optimization that was used to help improve multi-threaded Single-Method[2,3,4,5,6].

One task I am going to work on post GSOC is optimizing this code to achieve speed up and polishing up this code to make it easy for the jikes community to use this code if they chose to.
