## Quick Reference

### Performance Tips
1. Enable JIT compilation (default: on)
2. Lower JIT threshold for short-lived apps
3. Enable inline caching (default: on)
4. Use TLAB for faster allocation (default: on)
5. Profile hot methods and optimize

### Common Patterns
1. **Polyglot**: Register Rust functions for fast interop
2. **Reflection**: Use `get_class_info()` for runtime inspection
3. **Native Methods**: Use JNI-style registration for performance
4. **Error Handling**: Always handle `Result<T, JvmError>`
5. **Testing**: Use property-based tests for invariants

### Configuration
- **JIT**: `TieredCompilationConfig`
- **TLAB**: `TlabConfig`
- **Inline Cache**: `InlineCacheManager`
- **Profiler**: `Profiler`
- **Trace Recorder**: `TraceRecorder`
- **Deterministic**: `DeterministicConfig`
