I'm not the author, but I have contributed a few things to the project over the past year. The performance isn't anywhere close to the vanilla JVM - several times slower at best. It is entirely interpreted and there aren't any of the optimizations that have made their way into the JVM over the decades it has been around.
It has been a fun project to play around with for someone like me who thinks this kind of stuff is fun and interesting but will probably never get a chance to work on it full time. Cool to see it noticed, though!
