In one embodiment of the present invention an interpreted language, such as, for example, Java, is selectively optimized by partitioning the interpreted language code () into a plurality of blocks (-) based on the complexity of each of the interpreted language instructions. In one embodiment of the present invention, each of the plurality of blocks is identified as either a block to be compiled into native code (-) if the block is simple, or a block to be interpreted () if the block is complex. The compiled and interpreted blocks are appended to form in-line mixed code () that contains both native code (-) and interpreted language code (). This mixed code is formed before run-time, so that no further compilation is required at run-time. A processing unit () may be used to execute the native code directly without the use of a Java VM (), while also executing, in-line, the interpreted language code () which requires use of the Java VM () to interpret the Java bytecodes.
