Is Java compiled or interpreted?
Do the JIT compilers have config options to set how many code block run counts before the code gets compiled into a machine code block.
Ive heard threshold numbers like 1500 and 10000 being used which seens pretty high
to me (especially for servers that need quick/consistant startup)

Java is compiled to bytecode, which was then traditionally interpreted. I hear that Java is JITed to native code these days, but there is much conflicting information about modern methods of Java execution.
Traditional interpretation would be analysing source code string tokens and variable name lookups, etc...[...]
