could you do a 

kaffe -verbosegc -verbosemem at.dms.kjc.Main HelloWorldApp.java

and put the memory stats up somewhere? It'd be interesting to see where the
leaks are coming from.

how does jit behave? does it have the same problems like jit3?

The configure.in script says:

dnl -------------------------------------------------------------------------
dnl Check for JIT support and add in the necessary configuration files
dnl -------------------------------------------------------------------------

dnl AC_KAFFE_IF_SUPPORTED_ENGINE(ENGINE, SUP_CMDS, UPDATE_CMDS, UNSUP_CMDS)
dnl If the engine is fully supported, run SUP_CMDS.
dnl If it needs updating, run UPDATE_CMDS.
dnl If it is not supported at all, run UNSUP_CMDS.
AC_DEFUN([AC_KAFFE_IF_SUPPORTED_ENGINE], [
  if test x"$1" = x"intrp"; then
    ifelse([$2],[],[:],[$2])
  else
    if test -f "$srcdir/config/$Khost_cpu/$1-$Khost_cpu.def" && test -f
"$srcdir/config/$Khost_cpu/$Khost_os/$1-md.h"; then
      if sed 1q < "$srcdir/config/$Khost_cpu/$Khost_os/$1-md.h" |
	 fgrep "Needs update, do not use" > /dev/null; then
	ifelse([$3],[],[:],[$3])
      else
	ifelse([$2],[],[:],[$2])
      fi
    else
      ifelse([$4],[],[:],[$4])
    fi
  fi
])

I assume it would work by putting a 'Needs update, do not use' in the
associated jit3-md.h file, could you give it a try?
