Excellent article. Thank you for putting all this together!

It is a bit odd that the compilation is performed (again and again) for all queries. This seems to partially contradict the point of JIT itself

Glad you liked it.

Definitely agree that repetitive compilation is not only very counterintuitive here, but also destructive. It certainly defies the point of JIT, or any sort of compilation for that matter. It's somehow like treating JIT compiler as an interpreter, if you know what I mean...
