There is not much you can do with bytecode to optimise it. The real
work happens at code generation time.

What is the code generation time? Is it the run time?

It depends. Java has so many different ways of being run.

With a native compiler such as Jet it happens just after you run
Javac. see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jet.html

With a simple JIT it happen the first time to execute a method.

with a Hotspot JIT, it happens a few times after you have executed a
method.

With an interpreter, it never happens. All you do is execute tiny
methods to emulate each byte code instruction.
