I think you are overestimating the current capabilities of JIT's. Also, unfortunately, current compilers are notoriously bad at generating code with special instructions (vectorized code). So in the end applications that need to be really fast end up being written in assembly, or carefully written fortran and C code to generate a particular assembly.
