In my opinion: Yes, definitely! Without meta-tracing techniques, a JIT'd interpreter can only hope to be on par with a compiled interpreter, never significantly faster. It will never go beyond the limitations of an interpreter, because the JIT can't "see" the user code that the interpreter is running.
