ocamlopt is the way to go for performance.
ocaml JIT compiles to bytecode which is then interpreted. ocamlc compiled to
bytecode which is interpreted. ocamlopt compiles straight to native code and
typically produces programs which are several times faster.
Basile Starynkevitch wrote a real JIT compiler for OCaml (compiling to native
code on-the-fly) called ocamljit:
