Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

pg-copyjit is a new experimental PostgreSQL JIT compiler designed to be faster than the existing LLVM JIT. The compiler has reduced overhead as it prioritizes producing "fast enough" code quickly and uses a "copy-and-patch" method that stitches together pre-compiled code snippets for speed.
